The coordinator of Pakistan’s National REDD+ Programme briefed those present on the national REDD+ programmes being implemented by the Ministry of Climate Change. Pakistan has been engaging in programmes pertinent to climate change, forestry, and REDD+ increasingly in the last decade. The meeting was useful in identifying room for possible future collaboration between the Ministry of Climate Change, Government of Pakistan and ICIMOD in the context of REDD+ stakeholder capacity building in the region, including in Pakistan.
