In his presentation, Dr Ghulam Rasul, Director General of PMD, said that climate science and climate-related challenges should be shared with people and policymakers for appropriate adaptive actions. A flyer containing mitigation and adaptation strategies and messages from the Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Secretary and Chairman of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Board was also distributed among all participants.
