Pakistan is becoming more and more susceptible to the unpredictable effects of climate change, but our media pays little attention to this pressing topic. Pakistan is among the top ten nations in the world that are in a climate change hotspot, and the serious effects of climate change need to be made abundantly clear.
With its rugged northern region and its low-lying Indus Delta in the south, the nation is rapidly approaching the brink of calamity. Climate change ranks far lower than other subjects on television and in newspapers across the nation. This equates to a disregard for both public understanding and our capacity to successfully handle and mitigate climate-related concerns.
