I am writing to express my deep concern about the devastating impact of climate change on our nation. Pakistan is particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, which poses significant threats to our environment, health, and economy.

Pollution stands as the primary cause of climate change, polluting our atmosphere and damaging ecosystems. Additionally, rampant deforestation has severely reduced our tree population, leading to a decrease in oxygen supply and an increase in carbon dioxide levels.

The consequences of these actions are dire. We are witnessing an increase in health problems such as respiratory issues, heat strokes, and waterborne diseases. The environment is also suffering, with rising temperatures, melting glaciers, and altered weather patterns becoming more frequent. Economically, the nation faces significant losses as climate change continues to damage agriculture, infrastructure, and tourism.

I respectfully urge the Government of Pakistan to take immediate action to address these issues. There is an urgent need to enact and enforce strict pollution control laws. A nationwide reforestation programme must be launched to combat deforestation. Additionally, it is vital to promote renewable energy sources and educate the public about climate change mitigation strategies.

We cannot afford to delay any longer. Climate change is a ticking time bomb, threatening our very existence. I request that the government give prompt attention to this critical issue.

ASIM BAYAIN,
