Pakistan's Climate Crisis: A Call to Action for Sustainable Development

  Pakistan is facing a growing climate crisis, with rising temperatures, changing weather patterns, and increasing natural disasters all posing a threat to the country's development and stability. The effects of climate change are already being felt across Pakistan, from droughts and water shortages in rural areas to flooding and landslides in urban centers. One of the main drivers of Pakistan's climate crisis is the country's heavy reliance on fossil fuels for energy. Pakistan's energy mix is dominated by oil, gas, and coal, which not only contribute to greenhouse gas emissions but also make the country vulnerable to global oil price shocks. To address these challenges, Pakistan needs to shift towards more sustainable and renewable sources of energy. The government has already taken some steps in this direction, including the launch of a new Renewable Energy Policy in 2019, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the country's energy mix to 30% by 2...

Pakistan's Thriving E-Commerce Industry: A Boon for the Country's Economy

  Pakistan's e-commerce industry has been rapidly growing in recent years, with the sector expected to reach $3 billion in value by 2023. This growth is due to a combination of factors, including the country's growing internet penetration, the rise of mobile phone usage, and the increasing number of people with access to bank accounts. One of the biggest drivers of e-commerce growth in Pakistan has been the rise of online marketplaces like Daraz, which was acquired by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba in 2018. Daraz has since expanded its operations across the country and has become a one-stop-shop for online shoppers looking for everything from electronics to clothing. The success of Daraz has inspired other companies to enter the market, including local players like Homeshopping.pk and international brands like Amazon and eBay. This increased competition has led to lower prices and better deals for consumers, as well as a wider selection of products. But it's not just the ...
