Being threatened with the challenges of climate change, Pakistan is close to crossing the red line. The National Climate Change Policy 2012 remains a document of the past which is being pushed to nullity. The Climate Change Act 2017 was another move towards climate consolidation that promised to establish the Pakistan Climate Change Authority, Climate Change Council and Climate Change Fund all of which were last time seen in 2017 when the said act was passed. The Ministry of Climate Change must realise that it is the organisation at the federal level that is entirely responsible for catering to issues regarding climate change. These climate change bureaus need to be established and equipped with the facilities and manned with the human resource capable of undertaking such scientific studies and making such informed decisions as required to counter the horrors of climate change.
