A recent World Bank report, “Climate Silence in Pakistan,” resonates with an overarching sentiment among Pakistanis – a profound concern regarding the adverse impacts of climate change. Women, often serving as primary caregivers for children, exhibit a deeper apprehension about the potential impact of climate change on the younger generation. Similarly, educated individuals are more inclined to acknowledge climate change as a significant threat, emphasising the vital role of education in shaping attitudes and responses towards environmental issues. This link between education and climate concern highlights the importance of fostering knowledge about climate change for a sustainable future. Investing in education programmes that prioritise environmental awareness and sustainability education becomes imperative, not just for individuals but also for broader societal change.
