The unbearable price hike has broken the back of those belonging to the middle- and the lower-income groups of the country. Even those earning Rs400-500 a day can barely have two meals a day, let alone fulfilling others necessary needs. Perhaps the biggest security threat facing Pakistan today is the possibility of climate change and environmental factors destabilizing Karachi which is regarded as the country’s economic backbone. The Global Climate Risk Index has placed Pakistan on the fifth spot on the list of countries most vulnerable to climate change in its annual report for 2020. So Government needs to launch programmes to develop policies to mobilize their people and be aware that the importance of climate change encourages them to take part in activities relating to climate change.
