The Effects of Coal-Based Energy Production on Local Community of Pakistan: Paris Agreement and Violation of Laws
In Pakistan, for the electricity production sector; Coal- coal-based energy is preferred and it is not only in Pakistan but all over the world which is highly unfriendly for human health and high life risk is involved due to metallic pollutants and toxicological concerns. The purpose of this research is to study and examine literature on the topic and then to highlight the effects of emissions released from coal-based power production on the environment. The methodology used for this research was quantitative and qualitative, primary and secondary. Interviews with some doctors were also conducted to get their views. The study not only points out that there is a lack of appropriate assessment of these adverse coal-based energy production effects on the social and economic standards but also violating the laws and GOALS of sustainable development, green environment and health justice badly which is challenging for the future generation.
