Nadia Rehman, Member Board of Trustees, Climate Risk Fund – State Bank of Pakistan

Nadia Rehman serves on the Board of Trustees of the Climate Risk Fund at the State Bank of Pakistan, placing her at the centre of one of the most important questions in Pakistan’s climate response: how to build a financial system that accounts for, prices, and manages climate risk at scale. Central bank engagement with climate change has emerged as one of the most consequential developments in global finance over the past decade, and the State Bank’s Climate Risk Fund represents Pakistan’s effort to embed climate considerations into its monetary and regulatory framework. Her work involves ensuring that the resources mobilised through this fund are directed effectively toward adaptation and resilience, and that the broader financial sector develops the tools, standards, and incentive structures needed to channel private capital toward climate-positive outcomes.
