Climate change is leading to environmental crises and human calamity. In September this year, Pakistan was hit with extreme flooding due to rapidly melting glaciers. With 95,000 square meters of land submerged under water, and 33 million directly affected, the country is literally, and not only metaphorically ‘in deep waters’.
