| Sumario: | Pakistan is in the eye of global climate change and among the top five countries which are severely affected by it. Residents facing unprecedented heat waves temperature hikes and flash floods. The vulnerability of climate change varies from sector to sector relied on the adaptive capability and sensitivity of different regions. According to the researcher’s knowledge, it is a pioneer study which will broadly disclose the vulnerabilities of climate change in different economic sectors as well as how to cope with it through domestic adaptation and mitigation strategies. Cereals consider a staple food which is most vulnerable to climate change, even in the presence of effective capital and advancement of mechanisation. The core objective is to capture the vulnerability of climate change on cereal production via the Cobb-Douglus Production Function on annual time series data over 1977-2016 with the help of the Liner ARDL-Bound Test Approach. This study encompasses temperature, precipitation and inputs indices as well as greenhouse gas emanations which make it prominent from prior studies. Temperature index and greenhouse gas emanations have been destructive despite the fact precipitation and input indices, cultivated area and rural population have constructive liaison with cereal production over a long period. |
