Climate change has a wide range of varied, extremely unclear socioeconomic repercussions that vary with time and geography. A crucial answer to the practical and realistic adaptation and mitigation of the challenges posed by the changing climate is innovative technology. Determining the goals, strategies, and tactics for promoting and creating innovative technologies to solve these disparities or uncertainties regarding climatic changes is therefore regarded as a worthwhile endeavor. This study aims to provide a concise and detailed overview of recent technological advancements in the context of mitigating climate change. It is said that although technological
innovation has its place, addressing climate change requires a comprehensive approach that takes a nontechnical stance and involves collaborations between the public and commercial sectors. The authors conclude that important adaptation projects that could lessen the devastating effects of climate change would be driven by development in technology when it is anchored by political will. The several problems Pakistan currently faces poverty, population growth, resource shortages, infrastructural issues, and political instability are made worse by climate change. Pakistan, which is ranked as the eighth most susceptible nation in the world to climate change, is facing the looming effects on food security, agriculture, and economic growth, with the agricultural sector suffering the most.
