Islamabad: The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in collaboration with the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination (MoCC&EC) and the Public-Private Partnership Authority (P3A), has finalised a portfolio of five preliminary bankable projects valued at over USD 1 billion.

The identified projects span a diverse range of sectors critical to the country\u2019s climate resilience and economic transformation. These include green exports, bio-waste management, road infrastructure, development of the domestic green private sector, and sustainable real estate. The selected sectors align with Pakistan\u2019s broader strategy to promote environmental sustainability and economic growth through climate-smart investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, chaired a follow-up meeting with UNDP Resident Representative Dr. Samuel Rizk in Islamabad to discuss the progress on these initiatives. During the meeting, UNDP officials presented an overview of the technical assistance being provided to support Pakistan in preparing for the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), scheduled to take place in Spain later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Rizk appreciated the Government of Pakistan\u2019s leadership and commitment to climate action, and highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance Pakistan\u2019s access to global climate finance through public-private collaboration. He also announced that a preparatory mission from the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) would visit Islamabad in the coming week. The mission will facilitate planning and capacity-building sessions with federal and provincial stakeholders as well as private sector representatives, in advance of the FfD4 conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finance Minister Aurangzeb reiterated the government\u2019s commitment to a \u201cwhole-of-government\u201d approach in building a strong, investment-ready project portfolio.
