Climate Change in Pakistan Understanding the Challenge and Our Role
What Is Climate Change? • Long-term change in Earth’s temperature and weather patterns • Caused by burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and pollution • Global temperatures are rising faster than ever
How It Affects Pakistan • Pakistan is among the most climate-vulnerable countries • Rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns • Melting glaciers in the north cause floods in the south
Major Climate Issues in Pakistan • Floods (e.g., 2022 floods affected one-third of the country) • Droughts and heatwaves • Water scarcity and agriculture damage
What Pakistan Is Doing • Billion Tree Tsunami Project • National Climate Change Policy • Renewable energy projects (solar and wind)
What We Can Do • Save electricity and water • Plant trees • Use public transport or carpool • Spread awareness in schools and communities
