In August, Pakistan suffered the worst flood in its 75-year history. Many experts agree that the flood is related to climate change. Four months on, the country of over 200 million is still grappling with this unprecedented disaster.
As the waters slowly recede, the country is grappling with the spread of water-borne diseases. Food shortages put millions at the risk of malnutrition, while flooded farmlands have wreaked havoc on the agricultural sector.
As relief workers and aid funds are exhausted by Pakistan's flood relief efforts, the catastrophe is just one several extreme weather events this year that have been attributed to climate change. What happened in Pakistan could be a sign of things to come for the rest of the world.
