The situation in Pakistan
Pakistan has to contend with extreme weather time and again: droughts dry out the soil, monsoon-like rainfall destroys what little harvest there is. As a result, thousands of families are left with nothing and have to rebuild their livelihoods year after year. This is usually not very sustainable, as the traditional sources of income will not be able to withstand the extreme weather next year either. New, long-term methods of securing livelihoods and climate-adapted agriculture are needed.
