The Pakistan-German Climate and Energy Partnership in collaboration with the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination Pakistan, organized an event in Islamabad on Friday in connection with International Youth Day.

The event, titled Youth for Climate Action: Young Voices, Bold Solutions, was held to harness the energy and creativity of young individuals towards addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate change.

The event featured a series of engaging activities and thought-provoking discussions for young participants to learn from, so they can become effective advocates for climate action.

Distinguished speakers from across Pakistan shared insights and experiences regarding climate change, gender, vulnerable communities being disproportionally affected by climate disasters, and the role of youth in advancing these issues.

While addressing the event, German Ambassador to Pakistan Alfred Grannas said we want to build a climate resilient Pakistan, as we stand at a critical moment where climate adaptation and mitigation have become the need of the hour.

The event provided a platform for networking opportunities and fostering dialogue among the youth, climate change makers working at the grassroots level, and government stakeholders.
