Climate Change Adaptation Campaign in District Nawabshah
Global warming is one of the major burgeoning threats to human family, which has almost changed the entire climate of the world, posing very serious threats not only to the eco system and also other living organism on the world planet. The global warming would be an
indefatigable challenge for the coming generation, if its current
growing trend is not arrested, it would have irreparable losses not only on the wildlife losses but also a disaster for the human population. Sangat team has organised a number of consultative meetings in various rural villages and schools in order to aware the local community on climate change factors and possible ways to cope with it, with a view to grapple with growing chronic diseases mostly born out of warm weather and environmental degradation.
Sangat Development Foundation (SDF) team informed the local
community that around 262 million people were affected annually from climate disaster between 2000 to 2004. Due to unpredicted weather/climatic changes, there are many possibilities of unexpected drought cycles and rain with storms frequent and prolonged in the world.
Pakistan is also experiencing the effects of climate change; the wildlife
and many other indigenous species are at risk. However, there is badly

need of time to have pro environmental friendly policy, to be executed at the grass root level, in order to protect and promote climate sustainability.
Nawabshah has badly suffered due to an unexpected climatic changes
occurred since last couple of years in the district. These environmental and climatic change developments have entire changed the climate of the district, resulting into disruption of social landscape of the areas. The district temperature approximately remains above 50C from April to August. It is also one of the coldest districts of Pakistan only in winter season.
