Katchi Abadis (informal settlements) are home to
some of the most vulnerable populations when it
comes to the effects of climate change. With little or
no access to clean water, health care, education, and
other necessities, climate-related incidents can
exacerbate their already challenging living conditions.

By identifying, and locating all Katchi Abadis in
Karachi on a digitized map, for the first time, we are
taking a critical step towards achieving socio-climatic
justice and ensuring that vulnerable communities are
not left behind.
