Marked by these events, climate change has inflicted a range of detrimental impacts, including habitat degradation, deforestation, disruption of aquatic ecosystems, shifts in animal migration patterns, species extinction, and alterations to plant growth cycles. Although contributing negligibly to global greenhouse gas emissions, Pakistan bears a severe brunt of the consequences of global warming. Risky climate events will increase, increasing disaster risk, particularly for vulnerable poor and minority groups. The Ministry of Climate Change in Pakistan established in 2019, aims to tackle climate change adaptation, enhance energy conservation, and optimize fuel mix usage. Given Pakistan’s vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change, urgent global action is imperative to avert heatwaves and safeguard lives.
