Abstract

Pakistan being an agro-based economy is at threat due to the global climatic changes. The country ranks 12th among the Countries of the World that are expected to be severely affected by climate change. The country is sensitive to both increases in temperature and changes in precipitation. These could increase vulnerabilities for agriculture, forest and water resources upon which depend a large part of the economy and livelihoods. Increases in temperatures due to climate change could particularly alter bio-physical relationships for crops/livestock/fisheries/forests such as shortening of the growing periods, changing the species patterns, increasing thermal and moisture stresses, changing water requirements, altering soil characteristics, and increasing the risk of pests and diseases. The effects of climate change on agriculture and other natural resources may vary across the diverse agro-ecological regions. In the dry western mountainous areas, the increase in temperatures could enhance the process of de-glaciations by affecting our water resources on which the country depends for agriculture and energy production.
