Abstract
Abstract:Introduction: Disasters are the catastrophic events which affects human lives, infrastructure and economy at significant scale. Pakistan is vulnerable to disasters due to its climate change and geography. Climate change causes much more complications and disasters. So, there should be focus on climate change adaptations to reduce disaster risks. If country spends 1 dollar on DRR it saves 5 to 7 dollars to be spent on same population if disaster strike. So, development for disaster risk reduction is much more important. Making the communities resilient and reduces vulnerability environmental sustainability is very important. After the Millennium Development Goals recommendations, Pakistan is also trying to gain environmental sustainability but more in papers instead of practically. So, the need is to make sure practical implementations of these plans and efforts. The objective of this study was to overview the sustainable environmental development and disaster risk reduction in the context of Pakistan.Methodology: This is the descriptive cross-sectional review study.Conclusion: As Pakistan is vulnerable for natural disasters due to its geography and climate change like floods, landslides, droughts and Tsunamis. These impact communities according to vulnerability level of the community. Impacts of these disasters on communities can be reduced by reducing their vulnerability and increasing their resilience level.

Disasters are the catastrophic events which affects human lives, infrastructure and economy at significant scale
As discussed earlier that climate change brings too many problems leading to disasters so mandatory preventive planning is obligatory
Pakistan already took steps and built a structure with the name of Pakistan Environmental Protection Council in 1984 under the section three of the Pakistan Environmental Protection Ordinance (PEPO) in 1983; the responsibility of its chairmanship was given to Prime Minister of Pakistan
Summary
Very important issue which attracts the which impacts the community badly. Mostly global attention is climate change. If we can mitigate the Vulnerability level and low coping capacities environmental changes we can reduce so exacerbates the impact level. We can reduce environmental hazards impact on social, environmental and hazards risks by reducing their vulnerability and make the environment sustainable by taking these steps seriously with real implementation: Disaster risk reduction, Climate change adaptation, Environmental management, Poverty reduction. Raising the community resilience and reduction of vulnerability level is the focus of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA). Problem statement: This study was to overview the sustainable environmental development and disaster risk reduction in the context of Pakistan. A goal was set to study the sustainable environmental development and disaster risk reduction in the context of Pakistan.
