As a signatory to the Paris Agreement, Pakistan has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Despite the ambitious goals outlined in NDC 2.0, implementation has been hampered by financial limitations, policy inconsistencies, and the absence of localized strategies.
