Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Climate change negatively affects the nature and other anthropogenic activities. And inversely anthropogenic activities are also effects the climate. Climate change effects on urban area more severe than the rural areas. The aims of this study are to analysis the climate change and its impact on the residences of the Islamabad City. The datasets used for the research includes ninety year weather data that includes of daily maximum and minimum daily air temperature (˚C), daily total rainfall (mm), and daily values of incoming solar radiation using B1 scenario Projected temperature changes in Pakistan over the 21st Century under IPCC, SRES. The data were analyses through ArcGIS10.2 Statistical tool and results represented through graphs and maps. The results of this research 2.84mm rainfall in 2011and 2.56mm in 2090 of the Islamabad City, solar radiation in 2011 is 16.59MJ/m2 and 17.09 MJ/m2 in 2090. Climate change create many threats and to face these threats, it is necessary to develop mitigation and adaptation measures as well as the appropriate implementation especially in at risk areas; if these threats will multiply in the coming decades. The present study suggests that control the deforestation, less use of motor vehicle, government should launch a media campaign to raise awareness on the climate change.
