Karachi: Federal Minister for Climate Change Dr. Musadik Masood Malik addressed the 4th Pakistan Climate Conference 2026 in Karachi, warning that climate change has become a form of “natural terrorism” for Pakistan. He stated that while Pakistan achieves a 3–4 percent growth rate, recurring floods erase 7–10 percent of GDP at regular intervals. Dr. Malik emphasized that climate disasters push entire generations back into poverty, adversely affecting GDP, education, and social stability. He criticized global climate inaction, pointing out that a small group of countries produces the majority of carbon emissions, while developing nations bear the consequences. He announced that youth-driven climate solutions and a Virtual Green University will be launched after Eid to promote sustainable ideas and climate action.
