Climate change is about to perish the world. Both the natural and human systems are severely weakened by the effects of climate change. When they strike, the disasters are genuinely out of control. The most losses and damages were brought on by climate change. Despite knowing how effective prevention is, we still lag behind.
The 2015 Paris Agreement recognised loss and damage as its top concerns. The Paris Agreement’s Article 8 states: “Parties recognize the importance of averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change, including extreme weather events and slow onset events, and the role of sustainable development in reducing the risk of loss and damage. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), global surface temperatures have warmed on average 0.85° C relative to pre-industrial temperatures (IPCC, 2014). Moreover, a recent report commissioned by the World Bank found increasing evidence that even with very ambitious mitigation measures, the Earth’s atmospheric system may already be committed to warming of approximately 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels by 2050 (World Bank, 2014).
While mitigation continues to be of paramount importance to limit loss and damage, the extent and magnitude of climate change impacts will certainly increase in the future. Decision makers will need to be prepared to implement both adaptation and risk reduction measures to avoid loss and damage and a suite of other approaches within comprehensive risk management frameworks to address loss and damage that is not averted.
variety of ecosystem service are affected just because of climate change which directly or indirectly became the reason of catastrophe for the human. high temperatures are related to melting of glacier which results in flooding. heat stroke give rise to the health issues and our health sector is not able to entertain every individual.
Another obstacle will be seen here, people with good backgrounds will be able to get good treatment. Pakistan has to be very proactive in terms of climate change but along with this it has to be with global standards of technology. Technology changed the world dynamic which is good to some extend but the other side of the coin shows the steep rise in mental health issues. people are more prone towards the suicide. The reasons behind them is inflation and mental health issues due to technology. The educational system in many areas of Pakistan is wiped up due to climate change. Are we be able to bear the loss. Thousands of children are out of school and other population are on edge for this act. Climate change is a challenge for the people of Pakistan as it affects the whole parameters of life.
A win-win solution will be to invest in ambitious mitigation action to avoid the unmanageable, and comprehensive and holistic adaptation action to manage the unavoidable–including better management of ecosystems and their services, improved governance, and economic policies that support sustainable development. Joining hands for the sake of humanity will bless us with a better world.
