Climate change is a major environmental challenge with implications for Pakistan's ecosystems, biodiversity, agriculture, water security, public infrastructure, and communities.Rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, glacier-related risks, droughts, heatwaves, floods, and coastal vulnerabilities highlight the importance of climate adaptation, disaster preparedness, and sustainable environmental management.The Board aims to support initiatives that connect climate action with wildlife conservation, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable development.
