Description

This research study investigates climate change as a non-conventional security threat for Pakistan. Extreme weather events, water shortage, and population displacement are just a few of the difficulties Pakistan is facing as the effects of climate change become more pronounced worldwide. These difficulties could make the region's current security problems worse. As a complex global issue with substantial security ramifications, climate change is now more widely acknowledged to go far beyond environmental issues. The non-traditional security risks that climate change poses to Pakistan through a case study that focuses on that nation. Pakistan is particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change due to its diverse topography, populace, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. It emphasizes the relevance of adjusting to changing climatic circumstances to guarantee a more resilient and secure future for Pakistan and the wider region. It also emphasizes the importance of regional and international collaboration in mitigating climate change's impact on security.
