Climate change has been badly affecting Pakistan in the form of prolonged droughts, heatwaves, glacial melt and devastating floods. It is also badly impacting the country’s water resources, agricultural productivity and food security. Pakistan is the seventh most affected country to climate change in Asia.There is a dire need to tackle this grave challenge to save Pakistan from its miserable impacts. The government must come up with effective climate adaption and mitigation strategies. It must ban deforestation and encourage plantation drives throughout the country. Also, by investing in low-carbon technologies and using renewable sources of energy, Pakistan can certainly combat climate change to a great extent.Assad AliDadu
