As the climate crisis intensifies, this session explores how faith actors and local communities can play a critical role in climate adaptation, particularly in vulnerable countries like Pakistan. With damages from recent floods exceeding $14.9 billion, the discussion will focus on localising finance instruments, ensuring transparency, and integrating faith actors into climate policy and disaster response. Key recommendations will include resilient infrastructure, risk reduction, and inclusive, context-specific solutions to strengthen global cooperation and sustainability.
