Abstract

Climate change marked by heatwave and high rainfall has resulted in major flooding in Pakistan. The floods in June–August 2022 resulted in more than 1,700 casualties and affected several communities in six districts in Pakistan. The issue of climate change has become a worldwide concern, but this flood event has given rise to various perceptions that have developed in the international community related to the causes of the natural crisis in Pakistan. The aim of this study is to show the public perception of natural disasters related to climate change. The method employed in this study is the discourse analysis method by taking data that emerged from social media. The data of this study were collected from 84 statements from various posts on social media platforms. The result of this study shows that there are two polarized perceptions of Pakistan Flood in 2022, first is the disaster a result of Pakistan’s government mismanagement to mitigate the disaster and they are to blame. The second perception is that the Pakistan flood in 2022 is a result of global CO2 emission by the large polluting country and has become global responsibility.
