About Pakistan

Pakistan contributes under 1% of global emissions yet is among the most climate-vulnerable nations: the 2022 floods submerged a third of the country and caused $30bn in damage, catalysing the COP27 loss-and-damage fund. Chronic power shortages and expensive imported LNG have driven an unexpected rooftop solar boom, with 17 GW of panels imported from China in 2024 alone.

Key Facts

  • 2022 floods affected 33 million people
  • Among the top 10 most climate-vulnerable countries
  • Rooftop solar imports exceeded peak grid demand in 2024
