Pakistan lays out first ‘Climate Change Authority’

ISLAMABAD: The central government has laid out the country’s first “Climate Change Authority” under the Climate Change Act 2017.

The authority was shaped after a three-part High Court seat in its judgment had guided the public authority to lay out the Climate Change Authority to adapt to the gamble of an Earth-wide temperature boost and environmental debasement.

Climate Change Act 2017 states that the base camp of the Authority will be in Islamabad and it might set up its offices at different spots according to the necessity.

Regardless of its under 1% contribution to discharges, the South Asian country is one of the most weak countries to climate change.

It has been confronting strange downpours, heatwaves, floods and different effects of the climate change across the globe.

In 2002, floods in Pakistan killed more than 1,700 individuals from June 15 to October 2022 and caused harms of billions of rupees.
