In Conversation with Dawn News: Pakistan’s Climate Budget – Reform or Greenwash?
CFP Joins Experts to Break Down the Rs. 716 Billion Allocation
Climate Finance Pakistan recently joined Dawn News for a special episode of Front Seat to Climate Change, hosted by Dawar Hameed, to critically examine Pakistan’s first so-called “climate budget.” The discussion featured Malik Amin Aslam, former Minister for Climate Change, and Mekaeel Malik, Founder of CFP, who offered sharp insights into the realities behind the Rs. 716 billion climate spending claims.
Together, the panel unpacked why climate adaptation is being deprioritized, the shrinking institutional space for the Ministry of Climate Change, and the urgent need for transparency and accountability in public climate finance.
This media appearance reflects CFP’s ongoing commitment to strengthening public discourse around climate finance, policy reform, and ensuring that Pakistan’s green commitments translate into measurable, inclusive action.
