Pakistan and the United Kingdom have formalised a wide-ranging climate partnership with the launch of the UK–Pakistan Green Compact, a framework aimed at strengthening climate resilience.

The agreement was signed in Islamabad by Minister for Climate Change Dr Musadik Malik and UK Minister for International Development Jennifer Chapman.

The framework envisages scaling up nature-based solutions, particularly mangrove conservation.

The UK-Pakistan green compact translates years of engagement into practical delivery for Pakistan which faces recurrent floods, heat-waves and water stress.

Pakistan aims to expand solar and wind generation to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
