Experts have called for a proactive approach backed by effective planning to respond to climate change in Pakistan.
Former ambassador Shafquat Kakakhel said the changing climate is a serious threat to human security. He addressed a workshop on Pathways to Resilience in Semi-arid Economies (PRISE) organised by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) on Friday.
The speakers said that climate change can multiply poverty in the country.
SDPI Executive Director Dr Abid Qayum Suleri expressed hope that research would contribute in policy planning and capacity building on climate change.
PRISE programme is conducting research on governance and institutions, finance, markets, natural capital and human capital.
