The Himalayas Are Melting & Pakistan Is on the Frontline | Disaster Has No Borders #climatechange

The recent floods in Nepal have once again raised a critical question: what happens when climate change begins to reshape the Himalayan region? From Nepal and India to Pakistan, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, millions of people depend on the Himalayas, Karakoram and Hindu Kush for water, agriculture, livelihoods and survival. But rising temperatures are accelerating glacier melt, changing rainfall patterns and increasing the risks of floods, landslides and water insecurity. In this documentary, The Kashmir Link examines the growing climate threat facing Pakistan, particularly Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, and explores why climate change cannot be treated as a problem belonging to any single country. Experts and public figures including Sardar Rafeeq, Syed Ayub Qutub and Shah Ghulam Qadir discuss rising temperatures, shrinking glaciers, water security, deforestation, tourism, population growth, infrastructure and the region’s capacity to respond to climate-induced disasters. Sardar Rafeeq discusses the rise in temperatures across Pakistan and Azad Kashmir and the rapid reduction in glacier area. Syed Ayub Qutub examines the vulnerability of the Hindu Kush, Karakoram and Himalayan region, the consequences of poor water management and the possibility of increasingly severe floods and disruptions to the monsoon system. Shah Ghulam Qadir discusses tourism, forests and the difficult balance between environmental protection and local livelihoods in Azad Kashmir. At the heart of the documentary is one question: If climate change knows no borders, can South Asia afford to fight it separately? ___________________________________________ #ClimateChange #Pakistan #AzadKashmir #GilgitBaltistan #Himalayas #NepalFloods #ClimateCrisis #Glaciers #WaterCrisis #SouthAsia #TheKashmirLink Climate Change, Pakistan Climate Crisis, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, Nepal Floods, Himalayas, Karakoram, Hindu Kush, Glacier Melt, Water Crisis, Floods, Landslides, Monsoon, South Asia, Environmental Crisis) ___________________________________________ Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the latest updates from The Kashmir Link (TKL) — your trusted source for in-depth reporting and untold stories from Kashmir and beyond. 📲 Follow us on social media: 🔗 Facebook:   / 61569912771577   🔗 Instagram:   / thekashmirlinkofficial   🔗 YouTube:    / @thekashmirlink   🔗 Twitter: https://x.com/thekashmirlink/ 🔗 TikTok:   / thekashmirlink   🔗 LinkedIn:   / thekashmirlink
