British deputy head of the British mission Martin Dawson warned that Pakistan may incur climate -related losses of $ 1.2 trillion by 2050 unless urgent measures are taken.
During his speech on Friday at the exhibition “The 60th Wildlife Photographer for this year” in the British Council in Karachi, Dawson stressed that climate financing is very important to alleviate the harmful effects of climate change.
He announced the new UK Climate Finance program, which aims to mobilize half a billion people to adopt climate -friendly techniques and practices.
The UK has already helped more than 1.5 million Pakistani in building the ability to withstand in the face of harsh weather conditions through climate -focused initiatives.
Dawson highlighted the efforts made in Gilgit in Pentestan and Khebar Petmachua, and said that the UK helps societies exposed to climate risk to improve water systems.
He also stressed the loss of disturbing biological diversity in Pakistan, where species such as ice tiger and paste deer face serious threats due to the destruction of habitats, illegal trade, and climate pressures.
The photo gallery, in cooperation with the London Natural History Museum, displays 100 pictures of wildlife that has been chosen for its originality and moral novel.
This is the first time that this famous exhibition is held globally in Pakistan, as it hosts Karachi and Lahir the two host cities.
Dawson stressed the urgent need to address the crises of climate and nature, noting that Karachi alone lost 200 hectares of mangroves between 2010 and 2022.
On the global level, environmental preservation initiatives in the United Kingdom have protected millions of hectares from environmental systems, indicating commitment to sustainable management and preserving biological diversity.
Dawson pointed out that the rich biological diversity in Pakistan, from snow leopards in the north to the deer pigs in the bond, is impressive “but it is under threat.” He called for teamwork to maintain these natural treasures for future generations.
