ISLAMABAD: Young Pakistani innovators on Thursday presented climate technology projects and policy ideas at a UK-backed event aimed at encouraging youth leadership in tackling climate change.
The event, organized by the British High Commission and Oxford Policy Management under the UK–Pakistan Green Compact, brought together entrepreneurs, policymakers and climate experts.
The £35 million compact, launched by the two countries in December last year, aims to strengthen climate resilience, accelerate the clean energy transition and support nature-based approaches such as mangrove conservation.
“Climate is a topic of real importance to both countries, which is why we chose the Green Compact,” Anna Ballance, Senior Climate Lead at the British High Commission, said, according to the organizers.
“It covers not only climate action, including adaptation and mitigation, but also nature, recognizing the huge role it plays in Pakistan’s development and economy, as well as the close link between environmental management and climate impacts,” she added.
