Rising Sea Levels, High level CO2, pollution, food Security, Epidemic Diseases aren’t something which are predicted for in the future, but these are the realities that surrounds us today in the name of Climate Change. Climate change refers to the variation in the Earth's global climate or in regional climates over time. It describes changes in the variability or average state of the atmosphere over time scales ranging from decades to millions of years. These changes can be caused by processes internal to the Earth, external forces (e.g. variations in sunlight intensity) or, more recently, human activities.
Keeping in view the impact of climate change on the increasing disasters including floods, cyclones, sea intrusion, droughts and consequent natural resource degradation and poverty in Pakistan, Participatory Development Initiatives have launched the Climate Change Prevention and Mitigation Campaign.
PDI has already been working on climate change prevention, mitigation and adaptation awareness campaign under its Disaster Risk Management Program, however, given in increasing importance of the climate change and its growing role in the disasters, PDI has decided to launch a separate "Climate Change Prevention and Mitigation Campaign". The PDI Board of Directors in its recent meeting also decided to prepare Five Year Strategic Plan for the Campaign. For that purpose a committee has been formed to prepare the initial draft of the plan which would be later on discussed and adopted by PDI. We would share the five year strategy as soon as it is finalized.
PDI is working with the vulnerable communities of Balochistan and Sindh, in the areas, frequently hit by the disasters i.e. droughts, floods and cyclones. The Climate Change Campaign aims towards prevention and mitigation for these vulnerable communities. And to aware people about the importance of their participation towards mitigating Climate Change.
