The Global Climate Risk Index 1993-2012 had ranked Pakistan as the 12th most affected by extreme weather events. Currently, Pakistan ranks 7th in the 10 countries that are most affected by climate change globally, with over 130 events directly attributed to it in the last two decades, costing the country nearly $4 billion in losses.
The improvement of human habitats has been a key concern for the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) and its institutional predecessors for over 100 years.
Central to that concern has been the quality and safety of housing. Several agencies therefore work to address different aspects of the habitat, from helping communities mitigate the risk of natural disasters to the creation of filtration systems that ensure safe drinking water.
