Aim of the study is to evaluate climate selected sixty-six countries of the world. Since climate plays a vital role in economic growth of any country and there is dearth of climate models comparing country-wise position to predict as how climate of country is relatively better than others and how it may change in the future and how will it affect on businesses. Overall design of the study consists of review of literature, data elicitation & analysis. It follows quantitative research philosophy based on secondary data obtained from World Development Indicators (WDI). Grey relational analysis is used method of analysis. A classification is made under a predetermined scheme of ensigns like: much better, better, somewhat better, fair, poor, somewhat worse and worse. Results of the study show that Arabian Countries (AC), mostly member countries of European Union (EE), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) have much better and conducive climate, whereas, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries have worse and unfavorable climate for business. It is an original and valuable study that uses country level data from a reliable source. Results of the study are useful for international business community, political governments, society at large and researchers.

“…Out of the total reviewed articles, almost 14% (N ¼ 13) of publications examined extreme weather events, their impacts on socio-economic development, and how these unprecedented events are managed in Pakistan. Notably, many of these studies (Ahmed, 2013;Salik et al, 2015;Abbas Corrected Proof et al, 2016;Zaheer, 2016;Raza, 2017;Busby et al, 2018;Memon et al, 2018;Mukhtar, 2018;Jamshed et al, 2019;Shah et al, 2019) examined the current disaster management capacitiesmainly institutional, technical, and financial capabilitieswhich are primarily linked with climatewater governance in Pakistan.…”

Climate-water governance: a systematic analysis of the water sector resilience and adaptation to combat climate change in Pakistan

2020

Climate change and water security have become the most challenging global issues of this era, especially for developing countries like Pakistan. Amid many hindrances, poor governance has been identified as one of the most pressing reasons for ineffective action to tackle multifaceted and integrative climate-water issues in Pakistan. This article, therefore, applied a systematic literature review methodology to examine the current climate-water governance archetype, including key areas, major elements, critical gaps, and potential strategy in Pakistan. This study found that key climate-water governance areas in Pakistan are: river basin and watershed management, agriculture and irrigation management, urban and domestic water issues, floods, droughts and disaster management, groundwater management, and transboundary management. Moreover, it is revealed that the major governance elements are political commitment and leadership, policy formulation and regulation, institutional capacity and coordination, stakeholder engagement, and resource management, technology, and infrastructure development. The article also discusses how Pakistan has not effectively employed most of the identified governance elements to tackle its climate-water problems, lacking mostly in political, policy, institutional, coordination, and infrastructure aspects. In conclusion, a four-dimensional governance strategy, encompassing leadership, policy, institutions, and stakeholders is proposed to improve water sector resilience and adaptation to combat climate change in Pakistan.

“…The lawyers of the future will be increasingly confronted with the choice between defending the interests of private companies or the world as a whole. Moreover, controversial tensions between those nations responsible for climate change and those that disproportionately suffer the consequences of climate change can be expected to increase in the near-term (Busby et al, 2018;Schipper and Pelling, 2006). Thus, the role of universities, when the objective of teaching law is considered, becomes essential and there are many centres of excellence in environmental and energy law around the world including at the universities of Vermont (University of Vermont, 2019), Melbourne (University of Melbourne, 2019), and Utrecht (Utrecht University, 2019).…”
