Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif says the government has approved a National Adaptation Plan to build resilience against climate induced disasters.

In a tweet on Wednesday, he said this will give Pakistan the essential tools to adapt to the risks of climate stress. He said climate change is redefining every human experience on the planet, especially Pakistan.

Alluding to the last year’s floods, Shehbaz Sharif said climate change is a development, economic, human and national security issue critical to the future of our people. He said there is a reason to invest in climate adaptation to build our core capacities to fully cope with the challenge.
