Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said on Thursday that Pakistan is concerned about the climate situation as it has also been considered among the top ten most vulnerable countries to climate change.
He was participating in an interactive Session on “Adapting to Climate Risk” that focused on how the communities, companies and countries were adapting to the risks posed by climate change, here at the annual 2012 World Economic Forum.
He said despite being among the lowest emitters both on per capita and total emissions basis, Pakistan was suffering for something nothing of its own doing.
He said further that the government had constituted a Task Force on Climate Change to provide appropriate guidelines for ensuring security of vital resources.
He added that programmes for risk sharing and insurance for loss and damage were also being planned, while the corporate companies were being encouraged through tariff and market based incentives to follow low carbon path by adopting energy efficient technologies.
