Conclusion centers to mitigate population pressures and climatic changes. We should open the education sector as an investment zone to Pakistani Diaspora. Coherent Policy for Donor Assistance. In the sphere of climate change Donors have reasonable understanding of Pakistan’s vulnerabilities. It is time that we make an endeavour to reach the international climate change policy forums and seek the due financial support available to high risk countries. The need is to benefit the potential resource channels through a coherent policy. Role of Leadership. The leaders of Pakistan whether national or provincial have to decide to empower the local authorities to play their part in future developmental plans for the citizens of Pakistan who have been granted the right in the Constitution of Pakistan to prosper and seek the dividend (article 18) and to live safely (article 4) in their chosen environment. Migration, industrialization and urbanization all play significant role on the climate of the planet earth. The major demographic and climatic changes in the coming century will have direct bearings and serious consequences on country’s political, ecological and social policy formulation and all sections of the society must rise to this national security challenge with a sense of collective responsibility.

Correspondingly, comparing population totals for Russia and Pakistan for that particular year is an exercise fraught with implicitly ahistorical assumptions. Nevertheless, and in just a quarter of a century, these projections suggest that Russia’s population total, which slightly exceeded Pakistan’s as recently as 2000, will come to be only half as great as Pakistan’s own. 7 http://www.ensaa.eu/index.php/climate-change/97-defining-climate-change.html (accessed 15 September 2012). 8 http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/2012/10 accessed 15 Nov 2012. 9 http://www.pnas.org/content/105/40/15258.full accessed 15 September 2012. 10 http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/GlobalWarming/page4.php accessed on 21 September 2012. 11 http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/publications_and_data_reports.shtml#.UMYoEqPjpsw accessed on 28 September 2012. 12 http://www.unanpourlaplanete.org/en/terrestrial-balance/thermal-balance-of-the-planet.html accessed on 28 September 2012. 13 http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/feb/04/man-made-greenhouse-gases accessed on 27 September 2012. 14 http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science/causes.html accessed 1 December 2012. 15 www.un.org/geninfo/bp/enviro.html accessed 25 September 2012. 16 unfccc.int/cop6_2/index.html accessed 25 September 2012. 17 http://germanwatch.org/en/3667 accessed 26 September 2012. 18 http://www.cdmpakistan.gov.pk/cdm_doc/what%20are%20expected%20impacts%20of%20cliamte%20change%20in%20pakista n.pdf accessed 22November 2012. 19 http://books.icimod.org/uploads/tmp/icimod-the_status_of_glaciers_in_the_hindu_kush-himalayan_region.pdfaccessed 21 November 2012. 20 http://www.pmd.gov.pk/journal/historyworstdrought2001report.htm accessed 25 November 2012. 21 http://icdd.uaf.edu.pk/Publications/001.pdf accessed 23 November 2012. 22 http://ccafs.cgiar.org/sites/default/files/pdf/Climate_Change__Crop_Production_INTRO_1.pdf 23 Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, http://www.pbs.gov.pk/node/441 accessed 20 November 2012. 24 http://www.pakistangeographic.com/forests.html accessed 15 October 2012. 25 http://www.irs.org.pk/ecosocio/sps11.pdf accessed 15 October 2012.
