FinMin for moving beyond policy prescriptions

Minister for Finance Muhammad Aurangzeb on Thursday stressed the need for adopting the policies framed to address climate change-related challenges on a fast-track basis by moving beyond "policy prescriptions." "There is no dearth of policy prescriptions; it is all about how and who. I sincerely hope this conference will address the operationalisation issues," he said at an international climate change conference titled "Breathe Pakistan." He said Pakistan was one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change and urgently needed to make mitigation efforts. However, the real and bigger issue was the adoption of policies in true letter and spirit.
