Dr. Musadik Malik rightly called attention to this imbalance, reminding the world that vulnerability is not proportional to responsibility. At Think Fest 2026 in Lahore, Federal Minister for Climate Change Dr. Musadik Malik delivered a message that resonated far beyond the walls of Alhamra Arts Council. For countries like Pakistan, access to such global scientific networks is not a luxury but a necessity for survival and resilience. A global mechanism to hold high-emitting countries financially accountable, as proposed by Dr. Musadik Malik, is therefore not radical; it is reasonable. Without such mechanisms, promises made at international climate summits risk becoming hollow declarations rather than instruments of real change.
