Abstract

Pakistan has witnessed increased probability and intensity of extreme events. Despite shortcomings in climate policies and data, multiple national policies have been implemented recently focusing on energy generation, conservation, and emission reduction. To analyze the effectiveness of these policies, we develop a national energy model and design three scenarios that help us identify the transition of energy sector. While current policies emphasize renewable integration in electricity generation, the key to reducing emissions lies in transforming all contributing sectors. Additionally, we synthesize how countries like Pakistan need to balance adaptation and mitigation goals to strengthen the case for local policy makers.
