The UN climate conference (COP27) in Egypt, held in November, was crucial for South Asian countries grappling with intensified climate disasters. Over 750 million people in the region have experienced climate-related disasters in the last two decades. Pakistan, in particular, suffered massive floods affecting 33 million people, costing over $30 billion. The World Bank has emphasized the need for climate resilience and adaptation in South Asia. Climate change should be tackled as a development challenge first. The priorities include investing in climate resilience, focusing on flooding protection, water supply, and urban infrastructure, and investing in human capital to improve sanitation, healthcare, and social protections.
