With earthquakes becoming more dangerous, and the impact of climate change happening as fast, what can Pakistan do? What could be the possible impacts on Pakistan? Given Pakistan is a country that stands to suffer a lot because of climate change, there are certain measures we should adopt.
Here's an interesting, and rather technical article on that front.

Also, about the earthquakes? Should Pakistan be concerned about her nuclear assets?

Screw Earthquakes; due to global warming the Glaciers in Pakistan are melting and once they do they will flood anything in their path to the Arabian sea.

Plate tectonics is a very different phenomenon than climate change.

I agree... But both are situations Pakistan is facing.. Reportedly, climate change will impact Pakistan significantly more than several other countries, and Pakistan lies in an Earthquake-active region. Not all of it, but still.

Even if there were no climate change, Pakistan's rapid population growth and failure to invest in social development would have placed it in the same predicament of water and other shortages. Japan is in an earthquake zone too, but they have invested in the safe infrastructure that Pakistan cannot simply afford in its present state of development. So, you see, the problem is not earthquakes or climate change, it is primarily the people and their government.
