Sindh's provincial government has decided to introduce a climate change course in all public and private universities. In order to address climate change, Vice-Chancellors and the Secretary for Universities have been instructed to start working on a separate subject.

Pakistan is one of the countries most affected by climate change in the world, according to the provincial minister.

The next generation will face more problems if they are not educated about climate change, and remain ignorant of its impending consequences.

Climate change has also been identified as the biggest threat by the international community.

Due to climate change, Sindh has been experiencing high temperatures and droughts. Providing basic information to university students is urgently needed to avoid the negative impacts of climate change.

In addition to improving human health, Mr. Ismail Rahoo says teaching subjects related to preserving and protecting the environment in universities will help deal with issues such as marine pollution, industrial waste management, and hospital waste discharge.

In Pakistan, Mr. Rahoo believes Sindh is most affected by climate change and its resulting disasters will continue to pose a constant threat, affecting food production directly.

In fact, studying the subject will actually increase employment opportunities for students.
