Flooding Will Be Pakistan’s “New Normal,” Warns Climate Experts

As climate change intensifies, Pakistan is facing a grim reality: flooding is no longer an occasional disaster but is becoming a regular threat. Recent deadly floods across Punjab, KP, Balochistan, and Sindh in 2025 have highlighted how rising temperatures, glacial melt, and erratic monsoon patterns are driving increasingly severe and unpredictable floods. Experts warn that without urgent investment in infrastructure, early warning systems, urban planning, and environmental resilience, Pakistan will continue to suffer high human and economic losses. The editorial urges authorities to stop treating floods as rare events and start preparing for a future where such disasters are routine.
