Pakistani’s are the world’s most vulnerable victims of global warming happening around. Although the contribution of Pakistan to global warming is only 1 percent but we are on top where it effects the most. According to a research many people die because of global warming. Recently the heatwave got its grip in Karachi and 65 people were not more. The temperature is ever rising and in result of these we have to face problems like floods, temperature rising every year, drought, agricultural downfall and many more threats. Based on the income per person Pakistan is ranked in lowest of the county ranks that have societies.

Those countries that are the most affected by this global warming have Pakistan listed in there. This was according to a report by Global Climate Index released in 2018 by public policy group the German Watch. Geological location of Pakistan is in a place where the temperatures are predicted to rise faster as compared to another place. The predictions according to the World Wildlife Fund Report tells that temperatures will increase 4 degree Celsius or 7.2 degree Fahrenheit by the year 2020.

The cities of Nwabshah and Turbat were recorded to be the hottest and that daily life there was disturbed because of it. April 30th 2017 it went to 50.2 degree Celsius and even more burning temperature of 53.5 degree Celsius was recorded to be hottest days in cities of Nwabshah and Turbat respectively. The residents of these areas are planning to migrate to other locations because of the rise in temperature.

Last year the number of people that died because of rise in temperature, which is caused because of global warming and heat rose to 60 in the city of Karachi. This is not just it, there are many more who die because of the heat and temperature rise illness. These figures are an estimate and not the exact ones. Back in the day number of people that died from heat wave were 1200 and 6500 were sick because of it, reported the PDMA Provincial Disaster Management Authority.

Shortage of water is another rising issue worldwide in which, again Pakistan is crucially been affected. The land here that receives more than 10 inches of rain in complete year is less than 60 percent. Main source of river feed are the glaciers of Hindu Kush and Karakoram Himalayan. These glaciers are also melting rapidly because of the global warming.

Cutting down of forests for residential area and acquiring the farming land to build home and other architectures there, is enhancing the rise in temperatures and is main reason of global warming in Pakistan. This was a report by Professor Muhammad Akmal of Peshawar Agricultural University. To reduce global warming you should plant trees. There have been several movements where people have been motivated to plant trees. You can download our application where you can also post a picture with a tree you planted.Install app

In the course of last five years, Pakistan Movement for Justice Party only has shown response and was keen about the environmental issues in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. They decided to resolve the problem by initiating the billion tree program. In this program they aimed to plant one billion trees to reduce heat and its affects across KPK region. In beginning people did not know or care about the global warming. The recent research shows that more Americans than ever now believe in global warming that was held by University of Michigan’s Center for Local, State, And Urban Policy.

The summers here in Pakistan are elongated because of the global warming and their extent have extended from February to November. The layer above earth that protects us called ozone layer is also getting destroyed by us. One of the sources are gases that emit form our vehicles. Day by day more ozone layer is depleting and earth is becoming a furnace. The number of resources we have are significantly less than our population and the situation is worsening day by day.

The icing on cake is done by our economic and developmental projects. This will increase carbon emission. Our government has vowed in this reduction by 2030. The countries who have signed Paris Climate Accord have to reach and maintain the lowest standard mentioned in the accord. Until this date it is not clear that how exactly Pakistan is going to accomplish these goals. Where rise in temperature is causing glaciers to melt there it is also causing water to evaporate. Results could be fewer irrigation lands and minor harvests.

The senior program coordinator of Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, a liberal policy group, Aamir Amjad said that we have been facing different problems because of global warming. People have to migrate and change their livelihoods, crops production has decreased, extreme weather conditions and its time period has increased. New generations have to be taught about environmental changes and researchers need to study climate problems. This way we can make new guidelines and policies.

According to a report our northern parts of country are more likely to suffer from climate change. The increase in temperature will be occurring and water per capita will decline at an alarming rate in coming years. Heavy rains causing in floods and extreme change in temperatures are caused by climate change. These changes can damage the power, gas, and oil set-ups. Warmer the temperature goes less efficiently the nuclear plants are supposed to work.

In such conditions we have to develop crops and plants that can perform at its optimum even when the climate conditions are extreme and there are changes in environment patterns. Built water storage systems and generate renewable energy too. At this event Pope Francis was an honest critic on the governments who are not addressing this matter. Those who are not aware about the seriousness of these issues of climate change and global warming are doing wrong with themselves. In spite of all the challenges we have been facing because of environmental and climate change, it was still not a main stream debating issue during the campaign for a new national assembly.

What we can do as the inhabitants of Pakistan? We can take initiatives at personal level to control the global warming and change the environment around us. Take initiative yourself and stop, just talking. You should also download our app and share your stories and pictures there of you taking and acting on the initiative. You can travel on local transport instead of personal vehicles, turn your car off while waiting, do not waste water, reduce the use of products that emit CFC gases, plant trees, and do not cut the current ones. This is the problem that we all have to work together to get rid of otherwise we all will be facing the consequencess.News balloon allows you to share and get information about planting a tree.
