Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday called for grant-based finance and improved resilience and adaptation funds for climate-vulnerable countries at COP31 in Turkiye.
Addressing the summit, PM Shehbaz highlighted Pakistan’s efforts towards clean energy, but warned that “national effort cannot replace a fair and just global response.”
“When climate disasters strike, vulnerable countries need timely help and finance that does not deepen their debt,” PM Shehbaz noted, adding that Pakistan called for “grant-based finance, including public-private partnership, alongside significant enhancement of resilience and adaptation funds, which amount to survival funds, especially for struggling economies.”
