World Environment Day: Pakistan suffers from the effects of climate change



Today, World Environment Day is being observed all over the world, including Pakistan. Since 1973, this day has been celebrated on 5th June every year under the auspices of United Nations.

Organized by the United Nations agency UN Environment, this year's day is titled Just One Land, while this year's host country is Sweden. The purpose of celebrating World Environment Day is to draw attention to the damage being done to the environment in the world and to work for its prevention.

The biggest problem right now is climate change and global warming. Pakistan is currently among the top 10 countries affected by the effects of climate change, but climate change is still one of the most insignificant topics to be discussed in Pakistan.

According to a report, due to climate change, Pakistan's temperature has risen by a total of 0.9 degrees Celsius in the last 42 years since 1980.As the temperature rises, our glaciers begin to melt faster. When the glaciers melt, the water level in the rivers rises and as a result floods in the surrounding populations, causing heavy loss of life and property.

These glaciers also increase the country's water reserves, but when a lot of water comes together, it is not stored, which leads to floods first, and then droughts. Due to this situation, experts say that by 2040, two thirds of Pakistan's population will suffer from water scarcity.

Climate change is also hurting our agriculture, unpredictable rains and changing patterns of heat and cold are reducing our crop yields, which is affecting our food chain.

The result is likely to be food shortages in the country.

According to experts, the list of harms caused by climate change and their prevalence is very large. Experts agree that climate change could lead to a third world war in the world, the main cause of which could be food shortages and famine.
