Pakistan is among the top ten countries in the world most affected by climate change. In the immediate aftermath of the 2022 floods, DEC charities provided emergency relief and funds from the appeal are now helping communities to rebuild their livelihoods. This includes training rural communities in climate-smart farming techniques to help build their resilience to future disasters.

In the last 60 years the DEC has raised £2.4 billion to respond to earthquakes and tsunamis, hunger and drought, the impacts of conflict and climate change and reached millions of people in humanitarian need.
