Climate Change Adaptation Planning, Measures and Multilevel Governance Approaches in Pakistan: Climate change and its risks on natural resources and human health of the country and Governments’ responses
Introduction
Climate Change is a complex challenge that the world is facing. Pakistan would be the most affected by climate-related disasters because of a lack of proper institutional, financial, and technological mechanisms to control the risks of climate change. Past natural disasters show that the local governments with insufficient financial resources, planning, institutional, technical adaptation capabilities remain unable to overcome natural disasters. Pakistan is an agricultural country, and its economy relies on the agriculture field. However, the growth rate of agriculture is decreasing because of environmental changes that are having great harmful effects on the already limited water resources. Long-term climate change and frequent extreme climate events have significant negative impacts on people's health that can cause death, disability, or suffering worldwide, especially in developing countries.
Aim
This paper will recommend climate change adaptation and measures to reduce environmental degradation that will help create practical results for disaster reduction, public health, and water and natural resources’ improvement of Pakistan.
Findings
The policy-makers will have to find the obstacles to adaptation and introduce reasonable and realistic environmental change policy measures that are real and applicable to Pakistan’s environmental conditions.
The top-down approach of environmental change policy implementation does not work. The local government-based climate change program planning and implementation with effective financial management and accountability framework can cope better with the challenges of environmental degradation. The government should develop a tool for environmental assessment and awareness and capacity building of the officials and folks. Local governments and climate literate local officers can perform decisive front-line action to tackle environmental problems and natural resources management.
NCCP and NEP have a big gap between its environmental change adaptation and actions due to the lack of coordination among the local governments. The climate-related disasters and the government’s climate change projects are managed and handled only at the national and rarely at the provincial levels. The NDMA, the PDMA and the MoE in the NEP should clearly state the duties and responsibilities of the local governments and enhance the participation of the local governments with more robust institutional coordination in management, and in the protection.
The bright and robust financial framework with the accountability model for environmental change adaptation projects should be established.
