Climate change is seriously threatening the coastal belt of Pakistan and posing a serious threat to livelihoods, health, economy and ecosystems as a whole, experts said and called for public action involving youths, women, grassroots level activists and frontline communities to lead the fight.
They said mankind has only 10 years left to radically shift economies and societies to deal with a climate emergency that is threatening to push millions into hunger and poverty. They added that climate crisis is already here and now, and it is disproportionately affecting the world’s poorest people, youth, women, indigenous people and other marginalised groups.
