A comprehensive strategy that ensures protection against the consequences of such kind of climate change must be devised keeping in mind the vulnerable segments of society. Another related problem is that of water shortages that have caused strain on inter-provincial relations. This was expected as Minister for Climate Change Senator Sherry Rehman had already issued warnings about the probability of such an event earlier. Right now, we must tackle climate change as if we are on a war footing. It is vital that provincial disaster management authorities (PDMAs) devise a strategy that minimises the impact of the unprecedented effects of climate change all the while protecting the most vulnerable in the country.
