In a joint statement, ICCI President Nasir Mansoor Qureshi, Senior Vice President Abdul Rehman Siddiqui, and Vice President Nasir Mehmood Chaudhry said the recent tragedies are a “stark warning” that Pakistan is one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries and needs urgent action. They stressed that the government should allocate sufficient resources to strengthen disaster preparedness and resilience in vulnerable regions, and invest in early warning systems, disaster management infrastructure, water resource management, and reforestation.  President Qureshi also emphasized that climate change is a serious threat to Pakistan’s economy, agriculture, and business sector, not just a humanitarian challenge. He urged the government to collaborate with the private sector, civil society, and international partners to create a comprehensive national climate action plan. The ICCI leadership also called for long-term reforms, including promoting renewable energy, sustainable urban planning, and climate-resilient infrastructure. The Chamber assured its full cooperation in all initiatives aimed at building resilience and ensuring a greener and safer future for Pakistan.
