Legal Analysis of Right to Environment through Legislative and Judicial Discourse

Abstract

    Climate change is a great threat to Pakistan owing to its weak economic condition. Floods and storms are the consequences of rising temperatures and extreme temperatures. Rising temperature and resultant heat have raised concerns regarding food, water, and security. At the same time, water-stressed conditions have decreased agricultural yield. This research investigates all these factors that have threatened the existence of people by causing high health risks that lead to climate change-induced migration. On the basis of elaborate scrutiny of the threatened environment, its reasons, and laws enacted in this regard, researchers here chalk out certain recommendations to protect and preserve the environment.
