The main aim of this work is to identify those factors which are contributing to Pakistan's vulnerability to climate change, this climate shift is causing more serious problems for Pakistan including, a decline in agriculture productivity, water shortage, health problem, energy shortage, and forced migration, one factor in the vulnerability of Pakistan is a geographical location other factors are also discussed which are contributing to the vulnerability.
