WFP and CGIAR have undertaken an analysis of climate risks in Pakistan and recommended programmes to address identified risks. Climate change is one of the key drivers of hunger in Pakistan. WFP is supporting vulnerable communities to adapt to the changing climate and build resilience. WFP has worked with local actors and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) to perform a climate risk analysis of Pakistan and recommend actions to manage these identified risks. A special focus was paid to the climate security-mobility nexus across Pakistan, and how mobility and security issues through 2050 may impact food security in five key livelihood zones, selected by WFP for their extreme vulnerability to climate hazards.
