Pakistan secures new climate financing deal to strengthen flood resilience

Pakistan has secured a new international climate financing agreement aimed at strengthening flood resilience and improving disaster preparedness across vulnerable regions. The funding will support river management projects, early warning systems, and climate-resilient infrastructure in flood-prone districts. Government officials stated that the initiative focuses on long-term adaptation rather than emergency relief, reflecting lessons learned from recent extreme weather events. Climate experts have welcomed the move, noting that improved preparedness could significantly reduce economic losses and human suffering. The program is expected to enhance coordination between federal and provincial authorities while supporting sustainable development goals.
