Abstract
- This article discusses the manifestos of major political parties in Pakistan and their focus on climate change and the environment. Parties such as PML-N, PPP, and PTI have outlined goals such as combating smog, addressing floods, banning plastic bags, and promoting renewable energy. However, some parties have been criticized for not prioritizing poverty reduction, unemployment, and agriculture. Independent candidate Ahmad Shabbar is also running on a green platform. Climate experts have analyzed the manifestos and found a lack of a gender lens and clarity on implementation. Despite these shortcomings, all parties recognize the importance of green energy.
