The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) in Pakistan and the Worldwide Fund for Nature- Pakistan (WWF-Pakistan) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for mutual collaboration and coordination on ecological conservation and environmental management, addressing the challenges posed by climate change and promoting sustainable socio-economic development. The MoU will strengthen the relationship between both organisations and promote knowledge sharing, coordination, research, capacity building, policy support, and resource mobilisation. Akhtar Iqbal, CEO AKF, Pakistan, said, “Pakistan is responsible for less than 1 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and despite of this, it is worst affected by extreme weather events due to climate change. Joint efforts are required to address the challenges of climate change and promotion of sustainable socio-economic development in the country. The agreement will complement our commitment towards responsible stewardship of the environment and enhance our reach to local communities.”
