This summer’s floods in Pakistan were a stark reminder that the changing climate will bring more disasters in the near future, warns a UN report released on Wednesday.

The United Nations’ 2022 Year in Review report on Climate and Environment notes that “whilst some regions suffered from a lack of water” in the outgoing year, others were hit by catastrophic floods.

“In Pakistan, a national emergency was declared in August, following heavy flooding and landslides caused by monsoon rains which, at the height of the crisis, saw around a third of the country underwater. Tens of millions were displaced,” the report adds.
