The National Commission on the Status of Women’s (NCSW) pivotal conference “From Vulnerability to Resilience: Gender Climate Action in Pakistan” gathered on Wednesday a diverse group from all provinces including goverments, climate activists, community leaders and private sector.
The event was held in partnership with Pathfinder and UNFPA at the Marriott Hotel.
The conference reinforced NCSW’s dedication to fostering gender-inclusive climate resilience strategies in Pakistan.
In her welcome address, NCSW Chairperson Nilofar Bakhtiar highlighted the critical role of women in addressing climate change.
She noted, “With 80pc of those affected by climate change being women and children, their inclusion in decision-making is essential.”
Chief Guest Lt Gen Inam Haider Malik, Chairman of NDMA, stressed the urgent need for proactive climate policies.
“Pakistan must move beyond a reactive stance. We need immediate and effective policies to counter the looming crisis,” he urged.
