An internationally acclaimed documentary series titled Voices from the Roof of the World, which highlights the human side of the climate crisis and presents it as a source of catastrophic suffering, is being brought to television screens. The production is sponsored by the Aga Khan University (AKU), Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH), Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), and the University of Central Asia (UCA) and will be telecast by Pakistan’s Express Media Group. The documentary has been honoured with many international awards, including at the International Nature and Environmental Protection Film Festival held in Hungary, in 2023. The project seeks to highlight the human side of the climate crisis, presenting it as a source of catastrophic suffering instead of what has long been misunderstood and presented as an "issue" to be addressed down the road. This series breaks with the conventional depiction of climate change by focusing on its day-to-day reality for ordinary people.
