Abstract

Despite contributing less than 1% to the global carbon footprint, Pakistan is facing some of the most severe consequences of climate change. Pakistan is ranked as the fifth most climate-vulnerable nation in the world by the Global Climate Risk Index. In a country already struggling with socioeconomic challenges, the impact of climate change acts as a significant threat multiplier.
