Review of Various Impacts of Climate Change in South Asia Region, Specifically Pakistan

Socio-Economic Impacts of Climate Change on the Coastal Areas of Balochistan

“…Pakistan, especially in the South Asian region, is grappling with growing climateinduced catastrophes affecting ecosystems, biodiversity, and oceans, with few adaption mechanisms (Noor et al, 2023). Unfortunately, Pakistan ranks eighth among nations most affected by climate change, owing to its physical proximity to the world's seas (Ullah et al, 2023;UNDRR, 2019).…”

“…The South Asian region, specifically Pakistan, faces a severe and escalating crisis due to climate change. This area is particularly susceptible to the impacts of climate change, yet there is a lack of understanding and awareness about the issue and strategies for adaptation (Noor et al, 2023). As a result, Pakistan's ecosystem, biodiversity, and oceans are constantly under threat from the ongoing climate crisis.…”

Investigating the Mediating Effect of Green Product Literacy on the Relationship Between Technology Innovativeness and Green Product Purchase Attitude

“…The consumption of resources by humans in recent decades has surpassed all prior records, making the protection of the environment a major concern globally (Barbu et al, 2022).Thus, sustainability has become a key concern for individuals and organizations worldwide (Ahmad et al, 2022), and the growing consciousness regarding human activities' impact on the environment has led to an upsurge in demand for the product of environmental friendly (Chen et al, 2022;Gao et al, 2016). Because of the negative environmental impact of business activities such as deforestation, pollution, and wildlife harm, there is a growing demand for sustainable business practices (Naz et al, 2020).Green products can be achieved through the use of recycling strategies, energy-efficient designs, reduced packaging, and nontoxic materials (Sarkar et al, 2022). These products also known as environmentally friendly or eco-friendly products, are designed to have a low environmental impact throughout their lifecycle from production to disposal (Zeynalova & Namazova, 2022).The concern for environmental issues motivates a considerable number of consumers to show interest in buying eco-friendly products.…”

“…Because of this, there have been five times as weather, climate, and water related disasters over the last 50 years, causing over two million fatalities and US$3.64 trillion in losses("Climate Action and Synergies," n.d.).There are many environmental issues in Pakistan, including deforestation, air pollution, a lack of fresh water, and soil degradation (Barati et al, 2023). In recent years, the country has also endured numerous severe climate-related disasters, such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves (Noor et al, 2023;Audi & Ali, 2023).…”

Examining the Factors That Shape Green Purchase Behavior: The Role of Subjective Norms, Self-Efficacy, Attitude and Intention

“…Additionally, there is a greater risk of flash floods, landslides, and foods caused by glacial lake outbursts as a result of the melting of Pakistan's northern glaciers (Khan et al, 2023). The vulnerability of Pakistan to climate change requires immediate attention and long-term action (Noor et al, 2023). Consumers can help mitigate the impact of climate change by purchasing sustainable and environment products, which can aid in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable production methods.…”
