In an historic announcement at the COP-28 summit in Dubai, Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar on Saturday announced “Recharge Pakistan’’— a 7-year, $77.8 million activity to use nature to help adapt to climate change.
The announcement was made at Pakistan’s pavilion where delegates, environmentalists, and world leaders gathered to discuss and find solutions to climate change-related challenges.
Not only does Recharge Pakistan help Pakistan pivot towards ecosystem-based adaptation and green infrastructure, but it places this country’s communities at the center of climate and resource management decision-making.”
‘Recharge Pakistan’ will be a big step for Pakistan to protect itself from the effects of climate change.
Recharge Pakistan has unlocked a total of $77.8 million in grants — with $66 million from Global Climate Fund; $5 million from USAID; $5 million from The Coca Cola foundation, and $1.8 million from WWF.
The activity will revolutionize the way Pakistan takes care of its environment.
