A global mean sea level rise of 0.2–0.6 meters could occur by 2100, whereas for South Asia (of which Pakistan’s coast is a part of due to the shared Arabian Sea border), a 0.7-meter sea level rise is projected relative to the pre-industrial level.

RCP8.5 scenario (the concentration of carbon is at an average of 8.5 watts per square meter across the planet) shows a more abrupt increase in temperature in the region and up to 10°C–12°C from 2017 levels, especially in northern Pakistan. RCP4.5 scenario (the concentration of carbon is at an average of 4.5 watts per square meter across the planet) indicates a similar increasing trend but with less intensity, 5°C–6°C.

The mean temperature trend under RCP8.5 (the concentration of carbon is at an average of 8.5 watts per square meter across the planet) indicates a 4°C–6°C rise by the end of the century from 2017 levels, with a sharp increase after 2050. Snow-covered areas of Pakistan in the north show a larger increase in mean temperature compared to central and southern regions.
