from different ministries/departments, the judge observed it was quite clear that no material exercise had been done on the ground to implement the Framework. The petitioner submitted that overwhelming majority of scientists, experts, and scientific organisations related to earth sciences agreed that evidences were sufficient that climate change was real. He said no one could deny the devastating impact of increase in frequency and intensity of climate extremes.
He said the experts agreed that the major cause was human activities, which include a complex interaction with the natural environment coupled with social and economic changes that were increasing the heat trapping CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, which were increasing global temperature and in turn causing climate change. The petitioner stated that for Pakistan, climate change was no longer a distant threat as the country was already feeling and experiencing its impacts.
