Why Pakistan’s Media Misses the Climate Crisis Climate Change, Narrative and the Media Global warming has out a constrained on the incremental use of fossil fuel, largely behind the phenomenal growth and development of the last two centuries. Incessant use of fossil fuels has brought climate chang, which reveals the true cost of this growth bonanza.

Muhammad Badar Alam, CEO of the Policy Research Institute for Equitable Development, explains that climate change remains largely missing from Pakistan’s mainstream media and policy discussions. Events such as the 2022 floods were framed mainly through political and administrative lenses, while climate drivers like rising temperatures and cloud bursts received little attention.
