Islamabad:Coordinator to the Prime Minister for Climate Change, Romina Khurshid Alam has sought technical support of Germany in developing Pakistan's climate action plans and accelerating the transition to clean energy sources. Talking to a three-member delegation from Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), led by Christiane Amari, Romina underscored the importance of strengthening bilateral cooperation on climate change and sustainable development.

The discussions centred on ongoing and future initiatives aimed at environmental protection, climate adaptation, and mitigation efforts, with a special focus on finding innovative solutions to combat the adverse impacts of climate change in Pakistan.

The country has been severely affected by floods, droughts, and other climate-related challenges in recent years. PM's aide highlighted the significance of international collaboration in addressing climate change, particularly for countries like Pakistan, which face unique vulnerabilities due to their geographical and socio-economic factors.
