Pakistan and WFP Join Forces for Climate-Resilient Ventures

Islamabad: May 30, 2025

Federal Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Coordination, Dr. Musadik Malik, met with Ms. Coco Ushiyama, Country Director of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), to discuss climate-aligned collaboration under the WFP–Government of Pakistan five-year cooperation framework.

The meeting focused on stunting prevention in Pakistan, with particular attention to the "4Cs"—climate change, conflict, COVID-induced downturns, and corruption—as key drivers of malnutrition.

Both sides agreed on the need for anticipatory, outcome-driven programmes that address stunting through climate adaptation and resilience-building.

The Minister emphasized joint ventures that translate climate policy into grassroots impact, particularly in vulnerable and food-insecure regions.

The meeting reinforced a shared commitment to integrating climate resilience into Pakistan’s national nutrition and development strategies.
