Tharparkar has been declared by the government as in a drought for at least 17 separate years before 2018. Environmental issues Tharparkar experiences the effects of earthquakes, floods, thunderstorms, drought, and locust attacks. Nagarparkar taluka is especially affected by these natural disasters. In addition, climate change issues affect the district and worsen preexisting environmental problems. Recent (2019) earthquakes have included one on 18 November, and one on 1 December which occurred during the Sindhi Cultural Day celebrations. Locust For a large part of 2019, beginning in May, there were large locust swarms which adversely affected Tharparkar's agriculture and economy through destruction of crops which many people rely on for food and livelihood. Some activists claimed that government response to the disaster was lackluster, and in one incident, Ismail Rahoo, Sindh's Minister for Agriculture, remarked that a possible solution would be for the largely vegetarian population of Tharparkar district to eat the insects. The problem, remaining unresolved, forced many farmers to labor continuously to drive away locusts, while many crops were eaten. Continuing to try to address the problem, some farmers demanded the government provide them with anti-insect spray.

In the wake of this announcement, an anti-government rally held on 23 October by the Pakistan Peoples Party was affected by the swarms Natural disasters Climate change severely affects Tharparkar. In addition, thunderstorms and resultant lightning strikes cause an abnormally large amount of death. In November 2015, more than 30 people and many more livestock were killed by a series of lightning strikes,
