Default You have done wrong
The climate of Pakistan is better than England (incorrect)
The climate of Pakistan is better than that of England (correct)

Tip: Here the comparison is between the climate of Pakistan and the climate of England not the Climate of pakistan and England.
i.e. My shirt is better than you.... it is wrong, this means my shirt is better than you not better than your shirt.
