Anam Rathor, Program Lead- Pakistan, CVF-V20

Anam Rathor has made it her mission to ensure Pakistan’s vulnerability is neither overlooked nor understated. As Programme Lead at the CVF-V20, the coalition of 74 of the world’s most climate-exposed nations, she works to translate abstract policy commitments into investment-ready outcomes, pushing for green bonds, carbon market mechanisms, and creditworthy project pipelines as practical bridges between Pakistan’s climate goals and global capital.

Her career spans UNDP, GIZ, and DAI, and she now leads Pakistan’s Climate Prosperity Plan, an effort to shift the national climate narrative from burden to leverage. From Islamabad’s streets to COP negotiating floors, her argument remains consistent: the world’s most vulnerable cannot afford to wait.
