From the start of 2025, we have witnessed huge waves of climate and nature in the form of natural disasters, like the winters were dry and not as cold as they used to be as compared to the last 5 years. The season of summer had high temperatures and heat waves reaching 47°C and touching 50°C at max and right now if we look at the situations of cloud bursts and climate change in the region it’s clearly at an extreme situation as floods, land sliding’s and extreme humid temperature make abnormal changes to the normal climate of South Asia.

The snowfall at Babusar Top in July is an alarming deviation from historical climate norms.

As in India heavy rainfalls across the country temperature reaching 25°C to 28°C degrees in summers of July, in Pakistan temperature dropping to 24°C in July which is a month having summer season and normal temperature of 38°C to 45°C these conditions shows that how much the situation is getting concerning in regards of climate change in South Asia.

The recent flood in northern areas of Pakistan and India due to summer cloud bursts not only affected the northern areas but also the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad, and many states of India as well. The Asian Development Bank has already issued a lot of funds to South Asian countries to fight climate change situations and eliminate carbon emissions in the countries to prevent climate change.

The Babusar Top in Pakistan is considered a very famous tourism spot last week there was a snowfall which is extremely rare to happen in the summer especially in July the situation is very concerning and very dangerous for the citizens of these areas as it is against the norms of the nature and a result of extreme levels of carbon emission in the atmosphere leading to these conditions in South Asia.

Floods, storms, heatwaves, the melting of glaciers, acid rains damage to infrastructure cause immense damage to the state and citizens’ properties. The level of carbon emission of South Asian countries is very low compared to the European industrial wastes and carbon emissions, which leads to global warming, and the most suffering countries are the South Asian and Middle Eastern ones.

Asian Development Bank has released funds to support South Asia’s fight against climate change.

The melting of glaciers is leading to rising levels of the waters and an increase in the flooding factor in countries like Pakistan, the Maldives, and the southern coast of India. Every year, COP, which is the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations for the Convention on Climate Change, happens in different countries. The last one happened in Baku, Azerbaijan. Agreements like the Paris agreement and many more have been made to sustain and manage the concerning situation of climate change all over the globe with the collaboration of all the countries, especially the members of the United Nations, and efforts can be seen as the world is shifting from high-carbon-emitting coal-powered trains and industries to electric engines and industries.

The cars are getting a shift from petroleum engines to electric engines, and are becoming environmentally friendly. The rising initiatives of using green energies for production of electricity is also very important to have in concern when studying about the climate change in the globe that is usage of solar panels at maximum level in Pakistan to eliminate the expensive electricity bills and shift to an atmosphere friendly system of living in the modern day world on higher levels the wind mills producing green energy from the speed of wind is also an atmosphere friendly initiative.

The rising concerns and deadly effects of climate change are extremely dangerous for humanity and the infrastructure of states. Another effect of climate change is sunburns on the human skin due to ultraviolet rays, which are a bit different nowadays and cause dark tans and sunburns on the epidermis of human skin. The world should stop playing politics on the matter of climate change, as it is already affecting millions in the world, not just people, but whole countries, and it can lead to water scarcity or floods very easily. By knowing the worth of water and its importance for human life, it can be extremely deadly and dangerous for humanity on this planet.

South Asia contributes little to global emissions but suffers disproportionately from its consequences.

South Asia being the most affected region by this change of climate requires more and more attention from the international world and super powers that is why the new policies which will be made should be strong enough so that they can benefit the human life in these regions as if it is affecting South Asia right now it can affect many more regions including the western countries and southern-northern poles of the planet disturbing the balance of the globe and the levels of water in it. The policies require strong implementation and proper attention by the whole world so that this deadly concern can be minimized in order to save the future generations of this world.
