PLURIDISCIPLINARITY IN CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH: A UNIFIED APPROACH

Abstract

Climate change presents challenges that transcend disciplinary boundaries, requiring collaborative frameworks that unite environmental sciences, policy studies, social sciences, public health, and technology. Pluridisciplinarity, which promotes cooperation among distinct but parallel fields, offers a promising paradigm for integrated climate change research. This article explores the theoretical basis, sectoral integration, institutional frameworks, and technological applications of pluridisciplinarity in Pakistan's climate discourse. Using case studies and statistical insights, we highlight the need for structured policy interventions and collaborative platforms to ensure a unified response to climate-related challenges. The paper concludes with recommendations for enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration and educational reforms in climate science.
