Political instability, corruption and a lack of government measures to curb carbon emissions have led to a cloak of thick smoke over major cities like Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Karachi, Pakistan’s biggest city has a capacity of only 700 vehicles per hour, but according to the study, there are more than 11,000 vehicles per hour on the roads. Cars are a big problem in Pakistan, and its carbon emissions need to be managed in order to avoid further problems with its citizens and mitigate respiratory diseases that are now affecting young children in the country.
