Keywords:
Geopolitical, implications, climate change,, Pakistan, security threats.Abstract
Pakistan is especially vulnerable to increased security challenges as a result of climate change due
to its geographical location, socioeconomic structure, and political instability. Pakistan’s melting
glaciers, floods, droughts, and altered monsoon patterns have significant impacts on security,
economy, and people. Against this backdrop, this study seeks to examine the geopolitical
ramifications of climate change for Pakistan. For this reason, the article will thoroughly investigate
its environmental conditions, temperatures, and natural disasters. It also examines the food and
water concerns associated with climate change, which leads to population relocation and
international conflict. Finally, this study discusses various geographical conflicts between India
and Afghanistan as a result of climate-related security issues. The report provides policy proposals
for improving Pakistan’s climate and minimizing security threats related to it.
