Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive review of the consequences of climate change in Pakistan, focusing on the major environmental, economic, and social impacts. Pakistan, ranked as one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, is experiencing severe disruptions to its agriculture, water resources, and coastal ecosystems due to extreme weather events and changing climatic patterns. This study analyzes the causes and effects of climate change, evaluates the ongoing impacts, and explores the potential strategies for mitigation and adaptation. The review suggests that climate change in Pakistan has a significant impact on food security, water availability, and overall national stability, urging the need for immediate action at both governmental and societal levels to address these challenges.
