In partnership with the 바카라 사이트 of Pakistan, The British High Commission Islamabad has sought to take forward Pakistan바카라 사이트™s National Adaptation Plan by trying to prioritise what Pakistan needs to do, and understand exactly what the consequences would be if Pakistan doesn바카라 사이트™t urgently build climate resilience.
Using innovative techniques like spatial data and AI to map the future impacts of climate change, we find that by 2050 the projected cost of climate inaction in Pakistan could be a $1.2 trillion hit on the economy (equivalent to ~30% a year GDP reduction per in the peak year).
If Pakistan is unable to adapt and build climate resilience this will likely have severe adverse implications for Pakistan바카라 사이트™s macroeconomic stability, regional security, settlement and displacement of population, and food security.
This initial phase report uses cost of inaction climate risk analysis to prioritise A&R solutions and recommends 10 overarching enablers for the 바카라 사이트 of Pakistan, development partners and the private sector to successfully take forward the A&R initiatives.
