Abstract
In recent era the arguments over the climatic variations has gained momentum. Dangerous impacts caused by these variations in the climate change have also heated the political discourses. Using qualitative content analysis approach, it is found that there is huge difference between facts and values regarding the climate change and its impacts on developing countries. Pakistan being a developing economy already facing many problems, while catastrophic impacts of climate change further adding fuel to fire. Due to having agriculture based economy the impacts of climate change over Pakistan is very severe. After corona virus there will be a desperate focus on economy, Pakistan along with other world would put measures to tackle climate change at second priority, a view presented by pessimists. Communicating strategies along with good governance would help to minimize the challenges posed by climate change.
