🌎 Kashmir Climate HUB
The natural landscapes of Azad Kashmir — its forests, rivers, and mountains — are the heart of our identity. Yet, they are under constant threat from climate change, deforestation, and soil erosion. Kashmir Welfare Foundation is leading a green revival across the region through tree planting, water retention projects, eco-awareness drives, and disaster resilience training.
🌲 Tree Plantation & Reforestation
We are planting thousands of native trees across Azad Kashmir, restoring degraded slopes, protecting wildlife habitats, and creating livelihoods through community-driven forestry.
💧 Water Conservation & Retention
From rainwater harvesting to groundwater recharge, our projects help families access clean water and prepare for a sustainable future amid declining water tables.
🌦 Climate Awareness & Resilience
By educating local communities, schools, and farmers, we empower people to adapt to changing weather patterns and build disaster resilience rooted in Islamic stewardship.

Azad Kashmir’s pristine valleys are among the first to feel the effects of global warming. Flash floods, droughts, and landslides are threatening lives, homes, and entire ecosystems. At Kashmir Welfare Foundation, we believe climate action is not just environmental — it’s humanitarian.
Through our Climate Hub, we’re creating awareness, planting trees, restoring water sources, and preparing communities to withstand natural disasters. We aim to empower local families to protect their land, grow sustainably, and build resilience against the changing climate — together, for future generations.

1. Why is Azad Kashmir facing climate challenges?
Rising global temperatures, deforestation, and changing monsoon patterns have intensified floods, droughts, and soil erosion in Azad Kashmir. The mountains that once stored fresh water are now at risk due to melting glaciers and unstable slopes. Read more.
2. How is climate change affecting Kashmir’s water supply?
Groundwater levels are falling, wells are drying up, and seasonal rainfall has become unpredictable. These shifts threaten drinking water, agriculture, and hydroelectric projects. Explore water crisis.
3. What natural disasters commonly affect the region?
Azad Kashmir faces flash floods, landslides, and cloudbursts — often worsened by deforestation and poor water retention. The 2005 earthquake remains a reminder of the need for preparedness. Lessons from 2005.
4. How is Kashmir Welfare Foundation responding to the environmental crisis?
Kashmir Welfare Foundation is planting trees, supporting clean water initiatives, and educating communities on sustainable practices to restore balance between people and nature. See our plantation project.
5. What impact has deforestation had on Azad Kashmir?
Tree loss has led to soil erosion, floods, and biodiversity decline. It also reduces shade and humidity, intensifying heat in once-cool valleys. Read more.
6. How do rising temperatures affect agriculture?
Changes in rainfall and heat are disrupting crops like maize and wheat. Farmers are struggling to predict growing seasons, leading to lower yields and income. Learn more.
7. What are the signs of climate emergency in Kashmir?
