Leghari v. Federation of Pakistan

A case study on Leghari v. Federation of Pakistan, where a farmer sued the national government for failing to implement climate change adaptation policies.

• The case of Leghari v. Federation of Pakistan centered on the government's failure to enact adaptation measures to address climate change vulnerabilities, rather than mitigation, because Pakistan is highly vulnerable to impacts despite not being a major contributor to climate change.
• Ashgar Leghari, a farmer, initiated legal action against the national government for failing to properly implement two specific policy documents: the National Climate Change Policy of 2012 and the Framework for Implementation of Climate Change Policy (2014-2030).
