COP30 Video of the Week: Pakistan’s Climate Future – Youth Voices for Action at COP30

Pakistan is highly vulnerable to climate change, facing severe risks from floods, heatwaves, and water insecurity. It also has vibrant national, sub-national and civil society leaders, youth advocates, and policy experts working toward resilience and sustainability. This event brought together climate voices from Pakistan to share perspectives on adaptation, policy, and public engagement, while amplifying pathways for global solidarity and local climate action. The session was moderated by Sebastian, an international relations student from Belém specializing in the Amazonia and climate change. Speakers included Ali Bukhari, climate advocate on food and agriculture; Musadik, environmental advisor representing Climate Forward Pakistan (CFP); Irfan, marine engineering student and co-founder of Salahuddin Academy; and Areej Yasinzai, Associate Director of CFP and Member of the Prime Minister’s National Youth Council at COP30.
