A National Framework for Climate Services (NFCS) in Pakistan would offer a comprehensive framework for the broader development of climate services in Pakistan—- adhering to detailed instructions from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and lessons learned from other nations.

In order to assist the coordination of institutions across the climate services value chain and enable efficient co-design, co-production, communication, distribution and use of sea-level information, it would be imperative that coastal climate services be included in the National Framework for Climate Services (NFCS).

By increasing adaptive capability and lowering vulnerability to the effects of climate change, an NFCS would assist Pakistan’s National Action Plan (NAP).

Therefore, incorporating coastal climate services into the NAP’s implementation would be advantageous.

Together with Pakistan’s NAP, an NFCS would aid in creating a supportive policy environment that would allow for additional suggestions.

Improving the availability of continuous, open-access sea-level data for Pakistan’s coastline and obtaining real-time sea-level data (in a regular and systematic manner) are urgently needed.

Monitoring sea-level change and other coastal calamities like tsunamis and long-distance swells requires a sea-level data network that runs the entire length of the........
