For Pakistan, adaptation to the adverse impacts of climate change is inevitable and likely to become critical in future. Due to geo-physical conditions, climatic extremes and high degrees of exposure and vulnerability, Pakistan has become a disaster-prone country. Frequent exposure to extreme climate-induced events such as droughts, floods, landslides, cyclonic activities, recession of glaciers, glacial lake outburst flooding (GLOF) and heat-waves have led the country to rank amongst top ten most climate-affected countries on the Global Climate Risk Index.
