Musadik Masood Malik, Federal Minister for Climate Change & Environmental Coordination

Senator Musadik Masood Malik took charge of Pakistan’s climate portfolio in 2025 with a clear sense of urgency. He has identified air pollution, water access, solid waste management and glacial melt as the country’s most pressing environmental threats, and has been pushing hard for climate resilient development across all sectors. A vocal advocate for climate justice, he has repeatedly called out the gap between global commitments and actual funding delivered to vulnerable nations like Pakistan, which loses nearly one percent of its GDP to climate damage annually despite contributing less than one percent of global emissions.
