Policy & Organizations
How to save the world's forests with carbon credits
Pakistan is increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including extreme weather, deforestation, and rising temperatures. A number of national organizations and policy frameworks have been established to tackle these challenges. From government-led climate policies to non-profit environmental initiatives, these efforts aim to reduce emissions, promote sustainable practices, and enhance resilience. This section outlines key institutions and strategies working to address climate change in Pakistan.
Pakistan Environmentalist Association
The main goal of this professional association is to maximise the role of environmentalists in restoring and conserving the resources. It aims IS to aid the environmentalists by conducting seminars or conferences and connecting them to the national organisations and through the development and implementation of policies.

The goal of the policy has been to work on various vulnerable sectors including the forestry sector and protecting the ecosystem.
