It is the government’s responsibility to ensure Pakistan does not remain vulnerable to climate-related threats
ISLAMABAD: Climate change is real and is affecting Pakistan too. A recent Oxfam report, titled ‘Climate Induced Migration in Sindh, Pakistan,’ states that Pakistan ranks 7th on the list of countries most impacted by weather-related events.
While the incumbent government has promised to work towards reducing the effects of climate change, nothing concrete has been done so far. Pakistan has a population of over 200 million and it is the government’s responsibility to ensure that it does not remain vulnerable to climate-related threats.
