Post-COP30 Panel Discussion | Islamabad

The Post-COP30 Panel Discussion, jointly organized by the Climate Action Forum (CAF), IRM, and the Institute of Regional Studies (IRS), was successfully held in Islamabad on December 23, 2025, bringing together over 100 participants from government departments, academia/students and civil society.

The event was graced by Ms. Khalida Bashir, Joint Secretary, Climate Finance Wing, Ministry of Climate Change & Environmental Coordination, as Chief Guest.

The panel featured Ms. Khalida Bashir (JS, MoCC & EC), Dr. Roomi S. Hayat (Chair CAF & CEO IRM), Ms. Aisha Khan (CEO, CSCCC), Mr. Arif Goheer (Executive Director, GCISC), and Dr. Khalid Waleed (Research Fellow, SDPI) with Ambassador Jauhar Saleem, President, IRS, moderating the discussion. The discussion featured diverse, intellectual, and substantive perspectives on COP30 outcomes by the esteemed panelists, with a strong focus on translating global climate commitments into national policies and grassroots action relevant to Pakistan’s context.

The session highlighted the importance of Post-COP dialogues in linking international agreements with local priorities. As many practitioners, policymakers, and communities are not directly involved in COP negotiations, such forums are crucial for unpacking outcomes, fostering critical reflection, and ensuring that global agreements are understood, owned, and meaningfully followed up at home.

CAF Secretariat was pleased to host SIF Pakistan Mission for an in-depth Stakeholder Presentation and Discussion Session on the study “Pakistani Youth Speak Out: Taking Action on Internal Displacement due to Disasters and Climate Change.”

Led by Ms. Laura Le Floch from SIF Headquarters (France), the session brought together senior professionals, technical experts, practitioners, and organizational representatives from across the CAF network along with other stakeholders. Their engagement was vital in contextualizing the study’s findings within Pakistan’s broader climate resilience and humanitarian landscape.

The study, based on responses from 1,800+ young Pakistanis who have been displaced or are at risk of displacement, highlights urgent insights that matter not only for youth but for policy leaders, programme designers, and development institutions shaping future responses.

Key findings included:

• 87% link the rise in disasters directly to climate change.
• 90% view disasters as the primary driver of internal displacement.
• 57% report serious impacts on mental health, including depression and fear.
• 53% say their education has been disrupted, with girls facing greater emotional and mobility barriers.
• 58% report major effects on career prospects and livelihoods.
• 94% of displaced youth feel economically excluded due to reduced job access and income instability.
• 96% feel socially isolated post-displacement, highlighting the need for stronger community integration.
• Youth call for better disaster preparedness, resilient infrastructure, early warning systems, and accessible basic services, along with meaningful participation in decision-making.

These insights underscore the importance of designing policies and programs that truly reflect on-the-ground realities, particularly the lived experiences of young people who remain at the frontline of climate impacts.

We are grateful to SIF Pakistan Mission for leading this critical conversation, and to all distinguished participants whose perspectives added depth and value to the discussion.
