Abstract
Pakistan is facing two front challenges from climate change and development.
It has the least share in production of Green House Gases (GHGs) as well as in
Carbon Offset and on the other hand, it is the country which is worst affected
by climate change among South Asian countries. Similarly, the cost of
sustainable development hinders the growth of Gross Domestic Products
(GDP). The electronic and printed media in Pakistan is more focused on the
causes and impacts of climate change as well as on the progress of sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). The present study explores the diverse dimensions
of the role of media in the understanding of the nexus of climate change and
development to maximize the benefits for the country development particularly
of GDP sector. The existing potential of Pakistani media is studied to interlink
the GHGs emission and GDP, with the impacts of climate change and Carbon
Offset take down by the country. In the same fashion, the relation between
sustainable development and growth of GDP with inflation rate portrayed the
actual struggle of the country for the SDGs progress. The paradigm shift in
understanding and projecting of the nexus of climate change and development
from Pakistani media will support the growth of GDP in the country.
