Climate experts gather to discuss of climate change issues facing Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has contributed less than 1.0 percent to global greenhouse gas emissions, but it ranks among the most climate-vulnerable nations in the world, according to climate experts. Climate experts gathered here on Saturday to discuss the issue of climate change in Pakistan.

According to climate expert, Khan Faraz, Pakistan government’s participation in the Earth Hour campaign was bittersweet. In recent years, the world has seen the country’s vulnerability to climate change. The traumatic events, including the sweeping away of entire families by flash floods, have left permanent scars on the nation. Against this backdrop, the practice of switching off the lights for at least an hour (8:30pm to 9:30pm) also reaffirms the government’s resolve to do what it can to save the planet Earth.

He stated that Pakistan, already grappling with deforestation, urban pollution and fragile water systems, the ripple effects of nearby conflicts particularly concerning. Refugee flow strain natural resources, regional instability disrupts climate cooperation and economic pressures push environmental priorities.
