The Climate Change Financing Framework (CCFF) launched by the Ministry of Climate Change is said to have identified different entry points for the mainstreaming of climate change into planning and budgeting processes, including in MTBF. Full implementation of the CCFF would enable the federal government to produce efficient, transparent and timely reports on budgetary allocations for climate change-related projects and actual utilization of funds against the allocations.
How ironic, however, it is that this ministry has failed to apprise people of drastic changes in weather patterns in the country in an effective and meaningful manner. The current spell of heatwave in Karachi is a strong case in point. The country's Met office needs to be boosted with a view to reaching out to the masses on an unprecedented large-scale. People need proper and adequate flows of information in this regard.
