Energetic advances
Pakistan holds immense potential in energy, capable of producing 50,000 MW of hydropower. In 2012, our electricity capacity was 22,000 MW, and by 2023, it has surged to 39,000 MW. To meet interim needs, we resorted to thermal energy, resulting in a significant spike in bills. Our failure to devise a comprehensive plan for hydropower generation has led to a shift towards renewable energy. There’s an urgent need to privatise the sector and address internal issues in WAPDA, such as common line losses and theft.

COP28: Rich nations turn to shifting goalposts, once again
For over 15 years, the rich nations have committed to paying $100 billion each year to help the developing nations deal with climate change. While for long, there were only two categories in this discussion — the developed and developing — in the past few years, the rich nations have split the developing nations further into emerging economies and least developed countries. For over 15 years, the rich nations have committed to paying $100 billion each year to help the developing nations deal with climate change. If there’s a top priority, it’s for emerging countries to phase out carbon,” he said in his speech.

Bilawal tells Nawaz to rely on his own strength
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Saturday asked PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif to rely on his own strength and popularity in the next elections instead of backing the ‘powerful circles’ to ensure his party’s victory. Bilawal urged Nawaz as well as his party to respect the voters and avoid playing what he described as “old games”. The PPP chairman said political parties could deliver even after the elections and regain their lost space. He added that he wanted a system where all decisions were made and implemented with the consensus of all political parties and institutions. Bilawal demanded a level playing field for all political parties in the country, rather than a specific one.

The Afghan Taliban government had given “certain assurances” to neutralise the threat of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the Foreign Office said here on Friday, following Islamabad’s latest demands, seeking a decisive action against terrorist sanctuaries. “We are obviously very disappointed that we have not seen the kind of results that we have expected from the Afghan authorities,” spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch told reporters at her weekly news briefing. “We will continue to impress on Afghan authorities to take effective action against these terrorist groups,” Baloch said. “We have been given certain assurances with reference to our demands of the Afghan authorities. “However, our position has been clear that there should be effective, meaningful action against these terrorist groups and we should see concrete results of the action that Afghanistan takes against these terrorist groups,” she added.

African nations seek fair climate financing at COP28
He mentioned that he is aware of one of the problems associated with past meetings on climate change: there is rarely any follow-up to the lofty statements made during these gatherings. He added that the EU was very deeply engaged with climate change, not just internally but also at a global level. These are the three main things that we have to resolve in order to advance in the (fight against) climate change,” he said. Smith said that there was a direct connection between climate change and conflicts, a hypothesis that his institute has been studying for decades. Little of what is said is implemented and ultimately, it is for the common people around the world to deal with the aftereffects of climate change.
