Climate Muhafiz

Youth- and women-led climate action, from tree planting to Climate Kachehris and COP31.

about the project

What Climate Muhafiz is about

Muhafiz means “guardian”. Climate Muhafiz shifts the focus from post-disaster relief to prevention: restoring the environment, building climate literacy and preparing families before the monsoon arrives in some of Pakistan’s most climate-vulnerable districts.

What we do

  • Female-led afforestation: 1,800+ trees from Larkana to Karachi, targeting waterlogged land, school boundaries and fragile embankments
  • Climate Kachehris: Sindhi-language community dialogues in the riverine Katcha belts of Shikarpur and Ghotki
  • Classroom climate literacy that helps whole households prepare rations, livestock and shelter
  • Loss & Damage advocacy: taking frontline rural voices to UNFCCC COP31 through the Youth@COP programme
