📰 #SDPIinPress: Read Dr. Shafqat Munir (@shafmunir )'s take in today's @thenews_intl "Anticipatory Action Financing"
🚨 Reactive financing: Disaster spending largely begins after floods and shocks, rather than investing in advance preparedness and anticipatory action.
🏛️ Invisible local governments: Local bodies are central to evacuation, shelters, drainage, heatwave response and community mobilisation, yet remain inadequately financed.
⚖️ Misaligned allocation: Weak citizen representation leads to funding decisions that do not reflect Pakistan’s climate risks, disaster priorities or communities’ lived realities.

Dr. @shafmunir (Deputy Executive Director SDPI) participated as panelist in a session on "Capacity Building on Sustainable Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change Adaptation, and Mitigation" in 15th South Asia Economic Summit (SAESXV) organized by @sawteenp in Nepal 🇳🇵.
"In Baku, we had realized that 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲"
Climate finance is actually the new human right & unless we have this perspective there is no way we can push for climate action.
Quoting @AdilNajam, he said
"Failure of mitigation is adaptation
& failure of adaptation is Loss and Damage"
