Effects of Climate Change on Natural Calamities in Pakistan: A Case Study of 2022 Flood
The main objective of this research is to give an insight into the effect of climate change on Pakistan, the case study selected for this research is the 2022 flood. An enormous amount of human misery and economic devastation was wrought by the catastrophic monsoon floods that struck Pakistan in 2022 Pakistan's. The purpose of this study is to look into whether there is a connection between these storms and climate change. Specifically, it will try to figure out how much climate change contributed to how bad the disaster was and what weaknesses made it worse. In addition, the study will look at how well Pakistan's current crisis planning and reaction systems work and suggest ways to make the country more resilient against future climate-related disasters. A mixed-methods study method has been used for this research.
