CLIMATE-INDUCED MIGRATION AND ASSOCIATED RISKS IN PAKISTAN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Climate change causes migration in many regions of the world, and it has become an imminent threati n Pakistan. Climate change refugees face exploitation, in-place alleviation, and social implications. Climate change's direct and indirect security challenges might cause significant economic losses. InP akistan. due to shortages of resources and overpopulation climate-induced migration createsc hallenges for all areas of the country, from Gilgit-Baltistan to southern Punjab and significantp ortions of Sindh and Balochistan. This ground-breaking research explores the link between climatec hange and associated risks in Pakistan and evaluates how climate change affects the region fromt he community to the individual level. The assessment of this study is based on review articles fromv arious database sources. Based on the PRISMA Statement 80 articles from 535 were selected forf inal analysis. The research examines climate-induced migration in Pakistan causing developmenti ssues such as poverty, food insecurity, water crisis, economic loss, gender inequalities, agriculturald ecline, etc. Existing frameworks and national policies have failed to establish a critical relationshipb etween climate change and the frequency and severity of adverse climate conditions,e nvironmental degradation, and human mobility. This study suggests a comprehensive approach thatw ould address the need for assistance, and long-term solutions for persons displaced by climatec hange, as well as the management of climate hazards for those who stay and the promotion ofp ossibilities.
