    Public Misperceptions about Climate Change Impact Public Policy in Pakistan
    (UMT, Lahore, 2021) Sadia Tufail
    Pakistan as a country is indicant for excessive vulnerability and diverse effect as witnessed in severe climate change related activities. Pakistan was initiated with the goal of becoming a climate change-resilient country, and the National Climate Change Resilient Policy outlines the specific areas where climate change action will be focused. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to our understanding of how public misperception about climate change manifests itself in Pakistani society, as well as to determine the extent to which policies implemented in that country may be addressing those misconceptions, among other things. However, the study of climate change is one of the more delicate aspects of modern science; however, the subject has been around for decades, and a substantial amount of scholarship has been accumulated as a result of deliberate intent and unwavering belief. The ability to recognise and understand the public's erroneous perceptions of risk is critical in raising awareness of climate change obstacle situations and promoting climate change awareness. Considering social and cultural constituents, such as ideals, attitudes, and agreement on climate change exchange policies, there are a plethora of opportunities for policy design, implementation, and public support generation. It must apply the experience and expertise of people from the field in climate change and chance communication, as well as to the broader fields of public and environmental studies, politics, urban planning, and media and cultural research, in order to be considered relevant.
