In this interview for Matrix Media, Environmentalist Momee Saleem explains the impact of climate change on Pakistan. Pakistan has been experiencing recurrent heat waves, drought, and low agricultural production due to the adverse effects of climate change. This year, due to climate change and high temperature, mango production has been severely affected. The average production of mango in Pakistan is 1.8 million tons and with a 50% reduction, it is likely to be limited to 0.9 million tons. To combat the drastic effects of climate change, awareness needs to be generated regarding it and the Pakistan government needs to introduce an agriculture system that is compatible with the changing climate.
