Effect of Extreme Weather and Climate Change On Middle Class Communities in Bara Kahu
The study explores the impacts of extreme weather incidents and climate change observed over time and on the middle classes in Bara Kahu, Islamabad. The paper is based on socio-economic, environmental, and health-related issues these communities must endure since the occurrence of heatwaves, intense precipitation, and floods. Primary data was collected by survey technique from subjects in 20 sample sizes of various households. The results indicate a definite connection between climate-related stress and impaired quality of life, such as property damage, health, and economic stress. The research aids to fill in the information gap on climate effects in middle-class and peri-urban environments.
