ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Climate Change Mushahidullah Khan said on Sunday that weather patterns in Pakistan were changing rapidly because of climate change and having negative impacts on glaciers, river flows, underground water recharge systems, agriculture and overall biodiversity.
“However, efforts are being made at various levels in the light of policy recommendations proposed in the National Climate Change Policy of Pakistan to cope with the negative impacts,” he said.
Mr Khan said in a statement that depleting river flows, falling underground water level, shifting rainfall patterns, frequenting heatwave, droughts, sea intrusion/sea-level rise, shrinking winter season, expanding summer months and melting glaciers were all indicators of how fast the climate in the country was changing.
