Islamabad:Pakistan's Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) with International Monetary Fund (IMF) represents an important shift in recognising climate change as a macroeconomic challenge, but substantial reforms are still needed to ensure global climate finance genuinely supports resilience and sustainable development.
This was the crux of a discussion here at the launch of a policy study conducted jointly by Dr Asad Sayeed, Executive Director, Collective for CSSR, Karachi, and Dr Khalid Waleed, Research Fellow at SDPI. Dr Sajid Amin Javed, Deputy Executive Director (Research), SDPI, aid the study fills an important policy gap by critically examining Pakistan's first engagement with IMF's climate financing facility. Dr Sayeed said Pakistan's recurring balance-of-payments crises, climate vulnerability and energy transition challenges converged, making climate finance a critical policy issue.
