Getting the record straight on Climate Change

A symposium on 'Climate Change' was held on September 2, 2025 at the Pakistani American Cultural Center.  The program was organized by Jilani Yousuf, a Karachi intellectual working with multiple non-profit organizations.  The two main speakers were Dr. Syed Imran Ahmed, a professor at the N.E.D. University, and Yasir Husain, Director of Climate Action Center.

Key takeaways:

Climate change refers to permanent changes in weather in the past 18 years observed over a period of last 30 years. Dr. Syed Imran Ahmed

Karachi has sufficient water resources to fulfill the needs of its around 30 million residents. Bad governance is the main problem. Dr. Syed Imran Ahmed

There are international climate funds available for people, communities, and governments of third world countries--a big portion of this money routinely goes unclaimed. Yasir Husain
