Summary
Climate change poses significant threats to the structural integrity of Lahore Fort. Research indicates that rising winter temperatures and increased summer rainfall, along with environmental pollution and smog, are likely to accelerate deterioration in materials such as burnt bricks, plaster coatings, marble, and sandstone. The study highlights the vulnerability of these historical structures to chemical and biological agents, emphasizing the need for adaptive conservation strategies to mitigate long-term damage.
