Climate risk impacts on employment opportunities for youth in Pakistan

This study aims to understand how climate-related risks and hazards are reshaping traditional avenues of job entry and employment, particularly for young people in Pakistan. This brief is aimed at policymakers, academia, international/non-governmental organizations (I/NGOs) and civil society groups, who can use these messages to develop and implement youth-focused programmes to address climate hazards; enhance research and evidence building on the differentiated needs of youth groups; and eventually improve services to adapt to the youth-specific covariate risks posed by climate-related hazards.
