Briefings

Pakistan's National Weather Forecasting Centre collaborated with China's CMA to deploy the MAZU system, a multi-hazard AI platform designed to improve early warning capabilities. The system was officially adopted in Pakistan in October 2025 and has been used since then to support disaster risk reduction and rescue operations following regional floods. While the system has been deployed in over 15 countries and supported by 40+ nations for trials, experts note it is not a standalone solution and requires integration with local data and a holistic government approach. The collaboration is framed under South-South cooperation, with China promising 5,000 AI training opportunities for developing nations.

Key points

• Pakistan's National Weather Forecasting Centre collaborated with China's CMA to deploy the MAZU system, which integrates AI with local meteorological data for early warning capabilities.
• The system was officially adopted in Pakistan in October 2025 and has been used since then to support disaster risk reduction and rescue operations following regional floods.

Context and limitations

Coverage is limited to the 2024-2026 period; specific accuracy metrics for Pakistan's local climate context remain unverified; long-term validation of the system's effectiveness in diverse Pakistani regions is not yet established.
