Overview

The study examines climate change impacts on land cover dynamics, indicating urgent need for urban planning policies.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate how climate change affects land-use and land-cover dynamics in the Islamabad and Rawalpindi regions.
  • Utilized remote sensing techniques to analyze land-use changes from 2000 to 2020.
  • Employed the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to assess vegetation cover.
  • Conducted spatial analysis to identify changes in vegetation and impervious surfaces.
  • Found gradual degradation of vegetation cover in both cities due to urban expansion.
  • Identified replacement of natural vegetation and agricultural areas with urban structures.
  • Indicated that urban growth outpaced the regeneration of natural vegetation, impacting ecosystem health.
