Gwadar Calamity: Climate Disaster Meets Governance Failure | Dawn Opinion | CSS PMS

Описание: This video provides an in-depth analysis of the Dawn Opinion article “Gwadar Calamity”, examining how climate-induced disasters, weak urban planning, and exclusionary governance have combined to deepen Gwadar’s humanitarian and political crisis.

Despite being projected as the linchpin of CPEC and a future regional trade hub, Gwadar remains structurally unprepared for climate shocks. Recent torrential rains have displaced thousands, destroyed homes and infrastructure, and exposed the absence of drainage systems, disaster preparedness, and local consultation.

For CSS & PMS aspirants, this analysis is highly relevant to:
Climate Change & Disaster Management
Governance and Public Policy
Federalism and Centre–Province Relations

Key issues discussed:
Climate change and urban vulnerability in coastal Pakistan

Lack of potable water, drainage and rainwater storage
Marginalisation of local communities in development decisions
Governance through security-centric approaches
Need for dialogue, political inclusion and amnesty
Role of community elders and local self-governance
