Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, the acting prime minister, emphasised on Thursday the urgency of operationalizing the Loss & Damage Fund right away and making sure it is used appropriately to address climate change-related challenges. According to him, additional, concrete financing is what the Fund should be used for, not development funds or loans from multilateral financial institutions. During the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP28, the prime minister spoke with CNN about Pakistan’s current focus, which is to transition from coal-based power plants to renewable energy projects in order to minimise the effects of climate change in the region and beyond.
