KARACHI: Breathe Pakistan, a flagship climate change awareness initiative by DawnMedia, has partnered with Alertli, a socially intelligent platform powered by voice and location-based artificial intelligence (AI), to strengthen citizen-led climate reporting and resilience efforts across Pakistan.

According to a statement issued on Thursday, the collaboration will enable citizens to report climate-related incidents in real time.

It said these reports will contribute to a broader national framework for climate awareness and preparedness “at a time when rising temperatures and increasingly extreme weather events are placing unprecedented strain on urban infrastructure, public health systems, and everyday mobility”.

It added that under the partnership, Alertli will serve as an “official citizen-reporting tool across Breathe Pakistan’s platforms”.

User-submitted reports will be analysed using AI to generate structured, actionable insights, helping surface on-ground realities, identify emerging climate patterns, and strengthen data-driven climate discourse, the statement said.
