Green Financing for Clean Energy Transition in Pakistan

Given the exponentially increasing cost of climate change, Pakistan should establish a green financing system, define green taxonomy and invest in mitigation and adaptation infrastructure, particularly for low- income and vulnerable communities. In this regard, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Climate Change must also synergize their efforts to adopt green financing as a tool to ensure the sustainability of the banking sector and enable de-risking mechanisms to protect associated green assets.
