The agricultural sector faces challenges such as water scarcity, energy inefficiency, and declining productivity, particularly in arid regions. Traditional irrigation methods contribute to resource depletion environmental impacts. Solar-powered smart systems integrate precision with renewable energy, improving use productivity. In Pakistan, where agriculture contributes 19% of gross domestic product employs 40% the workforce, these are severe, especially water-scarce areas like Cholistan Desert. This study examines impact solar-powered on conservation, efficiency Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 384 farmers via structured questionnaires. Statistical analyses, including multiple linear regression, paired sample t-tests, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), conducted. Findings show significant improvements crop yield (from 3.0 4.8 tons/hectare) reductions consumption. Regression analysis highlighted strong positive effects efficiency, while SEM confirmed reduced operational costs. concludes that enhances conserves resources, promotes sustainability. Policymakers should provide financial incentives, invest infrastructure, implement training programs support adoption. Collaborative efforts essential for sustainable

This study aims to examine the socio-economic determinants of human negligence in wildfire occurrences across Pakistan’s peri-urban and rural regions. Increasingly frequent severe wildfires, driven by climate change, conditions, negligence, have become a pressing issue. Rising global temperatures changing precipitation patterns created drier while unsafe activities—such as improper disposal flammable materials agricultural burning—further escalate risks. These issues are particularly pronounced Pakistan, where high poverty levels, limited resources, low education contribute dangerous behaviors. Weak governance poor policy enforcement further exacerbate problem. Data were collected using cross-sectional survey from 500 participants five Multiple regression analysis revealed that higher levels significantly increased whereas improved access resources reduced it. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) highlighted critical roles local governance, enforcement, community engagement mitigating wildfires. Correlation indicated an inverse relationship between risk awareness negligent behavior. Chi-square tests demonstrated strong connection wildfires migration patterns, underscoring instability caused these events. Finally, linear showed impact regional indicators, emphasizing need for integrated management strategies. offers valuable insights into factors driving Pakistan provides guidance developing targeted mitigation

Climate change is a major global challenge affecting migration patterns, particularly in coastal communities vulnerable to sea-level rise, flooding, and extreme weather. Pakistan, with its extensive coastline diverse environmental conditions, faces significant climate-induced issues, especially Karachi, Thatta, Gwadar, Badin, Muzaffargarh. This study aims investigate the impact of climate on patterns these five selected regions Pakistan. By analyzing variables socio-economic factors, research seeks provide localized understanding how drives population movements. A cross-sectional survey design was employed gather data from 350 participants across regions. Stratified random sampling ensured representation each area, were collected using structured questionnaire administered online. Statistical analyses included multiple linear regression, logistic structural equation modeling (SEM). found strong positive relationship between (sea level temperature increases, flooding) patterns. Both direct impacts indirect factors influenced likelihood migration. The SEM analysis revealed that awareness partially mediates In conclusion, significantly Pakistan’s communities, both conditions playing crucial roles. Enhanced comprehensive adaptation strategies are essential. Policies should focus resilience through infrastructure improvements, early warning systems, support programs.
