London, Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, Pakistan’s Federal Education Minister, addressed the urgency of climate education during a session at the Education World Forum (EWF) 2024.

According to Press Information Department, Siddiqui provided an overview of the educational and environmental challenges facing Pakistan, the world’s fifth most populous country. He highlighted the innovative measures being implemented to foster climate resilience through education, including the Clean Green School Program, Punjab Province’s introduction of climate change as a subject with the Green Book, and Sindh Province’s Climate Crisis Education Data Initiative.

These steps reflect Pakistan’s proactive approach to enhancing climate literacy and preparation for climate-related challenges, despite the country’s minimal contribution to global carbon emissions.
