Q.1: What makes Pakistan
particularly vulnerable to the impacts of global warming?
Pakistan’s vulnerability to
the impacts of global warming is particularly due to its diverse geography.
Q.2: How does rising
temperature affect urban areas like Karachi?
The rising temperature in urban areas
like Karachi leads to intense heatwave which poses severe health
risks.
Q.3: What is the connection
between glacial melting and water scarcity in Pakistan?
Glacial melting results in glacier
shrinking which initially causes increased water flow and
floods in rivers but over time, it leads to reduced water availability.
Q.4: Why are extreme
weather events becoming more frequent in Pakistan?
Extreme weather events are becoming
more frequent in Pakistan due to climate change which has disrupted the
weather patterns—intense rainfall and prolonged dry periods.
Q.5: How does global
warming impact Pakistan’s agriculture sector?
Global warming has left adverse
effects on Pakistan’s agriculture sector. Unusual weather patterns
and extreme weather events have reduced its crop yield
significantly.
Q.6: Why is it important
for Pakistan to implement the Heat Wave Management under SDG 13?
Implementation on Heat Management
Plan can help Pakistan to cope with issues like frequent and intense
heatwaves that pose health risks.
Q.7: What role does
Pakistan’s reliance on agriculture play in its vulnerability to climate change?
Pakistan’s economy and livelihood
rely mainly on agriculture. This sector cannot withstand the
effects of climate induced disasters—heatwaves and flooding which
make it more vulnerable to climate change.
Q.8: Can limited financial
and technical resources hinder Pakistan’s ability to adapt to climate change?
Yes, limited financial and technical resources can hinder Pakistan’s ability to adapt to climate change?
