The Indus basin remains the lifeline of Pakistan. The Indus River provides Pakistan with its unique identity. As one of the oldest civilizations in the world, the Indus River and its tributaries have shaped Pakistan’s rich and diverse culture. Social, political and above all economic lifestyles are directly associated with the Indus. The 2022 floods have highlighted not only the significance of this water system but living proof that millions across Pakistan are solely dependent on the well-being of the #LivingIndus.
Due to multiple factors today Indus is faced with numerous challenges. High usage of water, population overgrowth, and mismanagement of water. Centuries-old irrigation systems, diversions, erecting dams and unequal distribution are some of the issues that significantly impact the #LivingIndus. Environmental degradation of the Indus River and other wetlands in Pakistan has created additional health risks for the population. The river also receives a wide range of industrial waste, organic matter and ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, carbonates, bicarbonates, and chloride as well as inorganic wastes.
Setting out priorities for achieving climate-resilient development for the country through mainstreaming climate change in the country’s economically and socially vulnerable sectors is urgently needed.
However, In an era of mistrust, rumours and media avoidance Constructive opinion-building for the development of democracy and democratic institutions is quite a gigantic task. Therefore, Finding the gap in focused, trusted and people-centric information and awareness on Climate Change, Power99 Foundation brought together a group of journalists, broadcasters and V.loggers with diverse languages and geographical backgrounds, spreading from North to South and East to West of Pakistan, formed (CCJN)#ConstructiveClimateJournalistNetwork,
The objectives of the #CCJN Network are to create content, syndicate and collaborate for the #GreenRepository, conduct research on climate change build the capacity of the media professionals and educators.
#IndusCast #Podcasts series, Radio programs, Videos reports and Interviews in national and regional languages is a small step to support the Government of Pakistan’s efforts to fulfil its commitment under SDG 13 “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”: SDG 15 “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss”; and SDG 17 “Global partnership for sustainable development”.
