Building Together!

CAF continues to strengthen the capacity of its member organizations to act, collaborate and advocate for meaningful climate action in Pakistan.

Last week, CAF held its 4th Quarterly Meeting, bringing together civil society organizations, government representatives and development partners to deliberate on the way forward — accelerating research, strengthening partnerships and advocacy, supporting government efforts, and exploring joint initiatives for greater climate impact.

A key highlight was the launch of CAF’s Green Learning Series, initiated by the CAF Secretariat in generously hosted by Community World Service Asia.

The meeting also featured an insightful session by Mr. M. Amjad from GCISC on the role of civil society organizations in helping Pakistan achieve its NDC targets.

The CAF Secretariat is honored to provide a platform where diverse organizations can come together, learn from one another, and turn shared commitment into collective action.
