While IPCC estimates predict a global mean SLR of 0.2–0.6 m by 2100, a rise of 0.7 m is predicted for the region of South Asia (which includes the Pakistan coast). This SLR will most likely affect low-lying coastal areas south of Karachi toward Keti Bander and I ndus River delta more than other regions of Pakistan.
The majority of Pakistan's industrial sectors, for example fishing and agriculture, which account for more than one-fourth of the output and two-fifths of employment in Pakistan, are highly dependent on the country's natural resources.

In Alaska, which is warming two to three times faster than the global average, reduced snowpack, shrinking glaciers, thawing permafrost, acidifying oceans and disappearing sea ice have affected ...
Pakistan contributes less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but is one of the places most vulnerable to climate change. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] A study by an international team of climate scientists says that global heating made the flooding up to 50% worse and future floods more likely. [ 17 ]
Together they account for 49.8% of global population, 63.2% of global gross domestic product, 64.2% of global fossil fuel consumption and 62.7% of global GHG emissions. Among these top emitters, in 2023 China , India , Russia and Brazil increased their emissions compared to 2022, with India having the largest increase in relative terms (+ 6.1% ...
The 2022 South Asian floods, including in Pakistan (pictured) are an example of a climate change impact. [1] [2] Climate change is particularly important in Asia, as the continent accounts for the majority of the human population. Warming since the 20th century is increasing the threat of heatwaves across the entire continent.
Topographic Map Locator map Climate change in Algeria has wide-reaching effects on the country. Algeria was not a significant contributor to climate change, [ 75 ] but, like other countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region , is expected to be among the most affected by climate change impacts .
