    • ITS CAUSES AND EFFECTS


    • STEPS TAKEN AT REGIONAL LEVEL TO CONTROL CLIMATE CHANGE
    What factors are contributing in climate
    change
    The main factor that is contributing to climate change is global warming. In Pakistan rate of
    global warming is very high as compared to other countries. This is because of high
    concentration of carbon dioxide in environment. Major causes of global warming is:
    • Transport and vehicles
    • Deforestation
    • Combustion of fossil fuels
    • Forest fires
    • Volcanic eruption etc.

    10 Ways to Stop Global Warming
    1.Change a light. Replacing one regular light bulb with a
    compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon

    Steps taken by Pakistan to eliminate
    climate change
    What Pakistan is doing for climate change?
    In its Updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 2021, Pakistan has set an ambitious goal
    to tackle climate challenges by reducing 15% GHGs with the country's own resources and 35%
    with support of international grants by 2030

    Hundreds of Projects have been initiated by the federal government and provincial departments
    i.e., Ten Billion Tree Tsunami, Clean Green Pakistan Index, Ecosystem Restoration, WASH, Climate
    resilient Urban Development and Green Building Code are one of the major initiatives in
    addressing climate change in the country.

    One of the major cause of climate change is global warming so Pakistan is doing its best to control
    global warming by taking control over the release of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere this can
    only done by planting more and more trees and introducing electric cars that don’t use combustion
    fuel to operate
    Climate Policy and Frameworks:
    •Pakistan developed a National Climate Change Policy in 2012 to outline its
    strategy for addressing climate-related challenges.
    •Thecountry was also in the process of preparing its National Climate Change
    Adaptation Policy to better cope with the impacts of climate change
    Renewable Energy Development:
    •Pakistanaimed to diversify its energy mix by increasing the share of renewable
    energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.
    •Projectssuch as wind farms and solar power plants were being developed to
    reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions
    Afforestation and Reforestation:
    •The Billion Tree Tsunami project in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province aimed to plant a billion
    trees to combat deforestation and increase the country's forest cover.
    •Similar afforestation and reforestation initiatives were being considered in other provinces as
    well.
    Water Resource Management:
    Pakistan was working on improving its water management
    practices to address water scarcity and better manage its
    water resources, especially in the face of changing
    precipitation patterns.
    Disaster Preparedness and
    Management:
    Given Pakistan's vulnerability to
    extreme weather events, efforts were
    being made to improve disaster
    preparedness and response systems to
    mitigate the impact of climate-related
    disasters.
