摘要：Global climate change has started affecting virtually all forms of life.South Asian Region (SAR) is under threat of these changes,especially the Himalayas,providing water to a large population,for drinking and allied purposes.This paper empirically investigates the effect of climate change on rice crop of Pakistan in rice/wheat zone of the country.Study used Ricardian approach using variables such as mean temperature and average rainfall on net farm revenues (NFR).The empirical results ascertained that warming is going to be harmful for rice crop in Pakistan.Increased temperature level showed significant negative impacts,while increased rainfall level showed insignificant and slight negative impact on NFR.However the magnitude of negative rainfall impacts are negligible and could be consider that rainfall is somewhat beneficial for rice crop in Pakistan.Results emphasized on adapting effective strategies and few strategies being followed by farmers currently are also presented in the study.
