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.

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.

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.
