News Desk
ISLAMABAD: The federal government has appointed prominent environmentalist and entrepreneur Hamza Farrukh as the inaugural chairman of the Pakistan Climate Change Authority for a two-year term.
The announcement marks a crucial step forward in operationalizing the apex environmental watchdog, which has been tasked with formulating and executing national policies to mitigate the severe impacts of global warming in one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries.
As Pakistan continues to grapple with extreme weather events, recurrent flooding, and severe water scarcity, the newly appointed leadership is expected to bridge the gap between public sector strategies and private sector innovation to foster sustainable green growth.
The Authority is anticipated to roll out a comprehensive framework in the coming weeks, outlining priority interventions for carbon reduction, renewable energy transition, and climate resilience across all four provinces.
