Abstract
This research investigates vulnerability to climate-related stressors in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan, the recovery from the 2010 flood, and anticipatory actions for future development. This study adopts an integrated conceptual framework, drawing from notions of vulnerability and stressors, power and politics, and scenarios and future thinking. The findings revealed that pre-existing and reproduced vulnerabilities, at the intersection of armed conflict, the flood, and deforestation, became barriers in reducing exposure and risks to past and future climate and non-climatic stressors. The research proposes alternative mechanisms for improving livelihood capacities amidst conflict-driven disasters in the region and beyond.
