STAFF REPORT ISB: Pakistan has reinstated the Ministry for Climate Change, suggesting the government plans to pay more attention to the issue as countries prepare a new international deal to curb global warming.

In 2013, when the same government came to power, it downgraded the ministry to a division, removing its ability to make high-level decisions.In a turnaround earlier this month, the government appointed senator Mushahid Ullah Khan as Federal Minister for Climate Change, boosting the divisions status once again.

“We lose billions of rupees each year to floods and other calamities due to our negligence and bad governance,” Mushahid told a local newspaper before leaving.

“If the ministry improves its performance, well be able to get foreign climate financing easily for different sustainable projects,” he added.
