Where you live in Pakistan increasingly determines how well you survive a climate shock.
Jinnah Institute's Road to Resilience report maps district-level resilience across the country, revealing a stark divide: communities with stronger digital access, energy options, and diversified assets bounce back. Those without them move out. The pattern is no longer incidental; it is already shaping internal migration. The report points to a way forward, identifying mid-ranking districts with the potential to absorb migration pressures if investments in infrastructure and civic services arrive in time.

Swipe to see how resilience varies across Pakistan's four provinces.

Pakistan's four provinces do not carry equal capacity to withstand climate shocks. This carousel maps provincial resilience from highest to lowest, drawing on district-level data and fieldwork with vulnerable communities across the country. The divide is not accidental.

At the launch of Jinnah Institute’s Road to Resilience report, Senator makes the case for communities as agents of change, not passive recipients of aid.

After over a year of field research across Pakistan’s provinces, the report finds that resilience remains unmapped and misunderstood and that communities are increasingly being left to navigate climate shocks on their own.

Cash transfers have been critical in cushioning households against Pakistan's compounding climate and economic shocks, but they were never meant to be the whole answer.

At the Road to Resilience launch, Ms. Sofia Shakil drew a distinction between passive and adaptive social protection, and explained why cash transfers must be the entry point, not the end point.

Anticipatory action matters, but it cannot substitute for the foundations that make households resilient in the first place.

At the Road to Resilience launch, Dr. Faisal Bari argued that without sustained investment in human capital and basic public services, social protection can only go so far. The harder, longer work is building the platform on which resilience can actually rest.

There has to be a shift from reactive to anticipatory climate action, and there must be two-way communication between federal and provincial bodies working on community level delivery, stated H.E. Jane Marriott at the Road to Resilience Launch.

The UK's approach to climate adaptation in Pakistan is guided by a clear principle: think national, think federal, but act local.
