Abstract
All the aspects of life are covered by the teaching of Islam. The environment is
the creation of Allāh (SWTA). The creation of this earth and all its natural
resources are sign of His Wisdom, Mercy, Power and His other Attributes and
therefore serves to develop human awareness and understanding of Allāh
(SWTA). This study was carried out in Balochistan to analyze the awareness
level of farmers about climate change. The results show that majority (41%) of
the respondents were in the age group of 56-65 years. Most (78%) of
respondent of the area were illiterate. Majority of respondents were aware of
about climate change and the effects of climate change. Majority (87%) of the
respondents observed negative change in water table and (97.1%) observed
increase in temperature. While most (93.2%) of the respondents observed that
rainfall is decreasing. Highly significant association between age, farming
experience and awareness about climate change. The results further reveal
that there is no significant association between education of respondents and
awareness level about climate change. In light of these results, government
should develop policies for quality education, construction of dams, and
promote reforestation in the province.
