The UAE and Pakistan governments have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to increase cooperation for climate change mitigation and environmental protection.

The MoU was signed on the sidelines of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (Cop 26) conference in Glasgow, UK, by Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, minister of climate change and the environment, and Malik Amin Aslam, minister for climate change and special assistant to the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Focus areas under the MoU include environment and climate change, renewable energy, climate smart agriculture, drought management and environmental education and capacity building.

"The UAE and Pakistan enjoy long-standing collaboration across multiple sectors, such as education, health, energy, infrastructure development, food security, and the environment. The new MoU will help us tackle climate change together through boosting mitigation and adaptation capabilities and conserving environmental resources and biodiversity," said Almheiri following the MoU signing.

"The MoU will enable us to capitalise on successful experiences and models in climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy solutions, and scientific research to build a better future for the current and next generations," said Amin Aslam.

The UAE and Pakistan will also initiate exchange of information on climate change between their educational institutions, support the implementation of innovative ideas and projects stemming from academia, and conduct joint environmental research.

To achieve progress in these areas, the two nations will share relevant knowledge, experience, and publications, exchange visits between specialists to explore technical aspects of climate-smart practices and zero-emission technologies, and collaborate with regional and global environmental protection organisations to meet environmental agreements while serving mutual interests.
