Forced Migration due to Climate Change
The people of Gilgit-Baltistan are the real warriors of climate change. Most of them were forced to leave their home even though an entire village had to shift their livelihood twice or thrice in less than a decade. Climate change has a direct or indirect effect on almost every part of life e.g., agricultural area, livestock, rangeland, and people of this part of the mountains. The total cultivable land in Gilgit-Baltistan is only 2%. There are mountains and a flowing river everywhere. With a population growing at 2.47 percent annually, land scarcity is forcing people to live in places that are by no means subject to housing. Saman Khan visited a locality that has migrated due to cloud bursts or flooding due to melting glaciers. People from Kargha Nala, Naltar Valley, and many more villages had witnessed their villages drowning in one night. And they are moving from one mountain to another just to find a cultivable land leaving behind a drowned home, graves of their loved ones, and memories. Saman Khan explains what is Climate Change & how it forced local communities to migrate.
