As expected, the reverbs of climate change now directly impact on water resources and agriculture in Pakistan. Climate change in the country division claimed that 152 extreme climatic events happened in in last two decades as a significant shift in intensity and frequency of weather patterns were observed. As a result, they fear that an absolute shortage of water hit country by 2025, after which there will be acute food shortages and mass starvation due to low agricultural productivity.
persistence of high intensity heat wave followed by record- torrential, devastating monsoon rains will wreak havoc on the nation’s food baskets, leaving millions vulnerable and helpless. Another major threat posed by climate change division is constantly rising sea ​​level along the coast, which has caused loss of 1.8 million acres of arable land. These are no longer climate theories. for educational goals; Pakistan is witnessing cost first-hand. current the situation caused by the monsoon rains, when agricultural land was devastated and settlements were washed away by flash floods, should sound the alarm, but officials and politicians seem to busy wage an inconsolable political war. Other holier institutions also wrapped around the same with little care for what is necessary in commemoration of such massive devastation. They keep taking the same reactionary approach and we keep claiming futility of It.
Despite reasonable efforts and safety mechanisms that need enter to soften the blow, fight not only in Pakistan. Climate change is global event, group failure, and should be treated or addressed as such. Separately from need bring international agricultural and environmental specialists on board to solve these problems, Pakistan must fiercely advocate for combating climate change in international level. Officials must put politics aside and do what is necessary, realizing that people and the country in the grave risk.
