ISLAMABAD: Young Pakistanis showcased climate-focused innovations on Thursday, as the British High Commission stepped up support for youth-led initiatives under the UK-Pakistan Green Compact.
The Youth Climate Catalysts event, organized with Oxford Policy Management (OPM), brought together young entrepreneurs, experts, and community representatives to present practical solutions aimed at building a climate-resilient future.
At the Innovation Souq, participants unveiled projects including renewable energy models, circular economy solutions, and AI-powered climate applications.
Sana Khattak, co-founder of ezGeyser Smart Thermostats, said her project aims to reduce natural gas and LNG consumption from household geysers, cutting carbon emissions through more efficient energy use.
“We have been given a platform to showcase our work. Youth engagement is encouraging and helps expand contacts and sales, aligning the future of my business with the future of Pakistan,” Khattak said.
The event also featured a fast-paced climate negotiation simulation, Diplomacy Lab, designed to expose participants to the dynamics and challenges of global climate policy.
Sam Waldock, the UK’s Development Director, said young Pakistanis are “driving the ideas and energy needed to tackle climate change head-on,” and described the UK’s support as an investment in the country’s next generation of climate leaders.
Aisha Humera Chaudhary, Federal Secretary of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination, emphasized the importance of youth-led solutions, calling it a “moment of pride” and urging policymakers to nurture such initiatives.
