- Summary:
- In June 2015, Karachi suffered the deadly 'Heat Island Effect.' Hot air was trapped over the sprawling city and temperatures soared to 47 Celsius. Hundreds died from heatstroke. Climate scientists say such disasters will increase by 75% in the coming decade. Poor urban planning, shoddy construction materials, and water scarcity will exacerbate the problem, as will poor canalization and waste management. Meet families that have to survive heat and floods, and those working for a solution in this megacity.
