International Conference on Climate Resilient Pakistan 2023

📅 9 January 2023
Palais des Nations, Geneva

The International Conference on Climate Resilient Pakistan, co-hosted by the Government of Pakistan and the United Nations, takes place on 9 January 2023.

The Conference will bring together Governments, leaders from the public and private sectors and civil society to support the people and the Government of Pakistan after the devastating floods of 2022. It has two main objectives:

  • Present the Resilient Recovery, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction Framework (4RF), which lays out a multisectoral strategy for rehabilitation and reconstruction in a climate-resilient and inclusive manner
  • Secure international support and forge long-term partnerships for building Pakistan’s climate resilience and adaptation.

This is the first international adaptation finance dialogue, post COP27, in which Pakistan recovery plan, the Resilient Recovery, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction Framework (4RF) will be launched.

In 2022, devastating floods in Pakistan were the country’s worst natural disaster in decades, affecting 33 million people and destroying homes, livelihoods and basic infrastructure in many of the poorest areas. Rehabilitation, reconstruction and long-term recovery will cost billions of dollars according to the most recent assessment.

The Conference will be translated into all six UN languages and will take place in two parts:

Part one

  • High-level opening segment
  • Official launch of the Resilient Recovery, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction Framework (4RF) and partner support announcements

Part two

  • Exploration of ways to build Pakistan’s long-term climate resilience and adaptation, including the articulation of provincial perspectives
