Pakistan'da iklim bütçesi kesintisi: Şok edici düşüşe Rehman'dan sert tepki

Özet · AI üretimi

Senato İklim Değişikliği ve Çevresel Koordinasyon Komitesi Başkanı Senatör Sherry Rehman, perşembe günü iklimle ilgili bütçe tahsislerindeki düşüşü 'şok edici' olarak nitelendirdi. 2026-27 bütçesinde iklim fonları 3,5 milyar rupiden 2,48 milyar rupiye indirildi. Rehman, iklim polikriziyle mücadelede daha iyi koordinasyon çağrısı yaparken, muson hazırlığını 'acil' öncelik olarak belirledi ve önerilen İklim Otoritesi'nin gerekliliğini sorguladı. Pakistan'ın iklim değişikliğine karşı kırılganlığı göz önüne alındığında, bu kesintilerin afetlere hazırlık ve uyum çalışmalarını olumsuz etkileyebileceği uyarısında bulundu.

    BUDGET 2026-27: ‘Shocking’ climate budget cut draws warning from Sherry Rehman

    • Calls for better coordination to tackle ‘climate polycrisis’ as funding drops to Rs2.48bn from Rs3.5bn • Terms monsoon preparedness ‘immediate’ priority • Questions need for proposed Climate Authority ISLAMABAD: Senate Standing Committee on Climate Change and Environmental Coordination chairperson Senator Sherry Rehman on Thursday called recent reductions in climate-related budget allocations “shocking,” warning that Pakistan is entering a period of heightened environmental vulnerability marked by worsening climate extremes. Presiding over a committee meeting, Rehman said the country is facing intensifying heatwaves, accelerated glacier melt, erratic rainfall patterns, increasing water scarcity, and deteriorating urban environmental conditions. She stressed that monsoon preparedness must remain an immediate national priority, calling for stronger institutional coordination to address what she described as a growing “climate polycrisis”. Expressing concern over shrinking financial commitments, the committee noted that the Climate Mi­­nistry’s Public Sector Development Program­­me allocation dropped to Rs2.478 billion, down from Rs3.5bn in the previous fiscal cycle. “Climate risks are increasing, not decreasing, yet allocations continue to shrink,” Rehman said, also pointing to the ministry’s limited capacity to fully utilise already allocated funds. The senator questioned the rationale behind establishing parallel institutions such as the proposed Climate Authority. She asked what additional role the authority would serve beyond the existing ministry, warning against creating bureaucratic overlaps that add to the financial burden. Citing official figures, Reh­m­­an noted that losses of state-owned enterprises reached Rs832.848bn in fiscal year 2025, with cumulative losses exceeding Rs6.5tr, while another Rs451bn had been allocated to such entities in the current budget. Turning to the upcoming monsoon season, the committee received briefings from the National Disaster Management Authority and the Capital Development Authority. NDMA Chairman Inam Haider Malik informed members that the 2026-27 period is expected to be influenced by El Niño conditions, which are likely to intensify extreme weather events across the region. Malik said global temperatures in June 2026 were approximately 1.47 degrees Celsius above historical averages, while Pakistan’s temperatures were around 1.56 degrees Celsius above baseline levels. He cautioned that climate thresholds once expected later in the decade are being reached earlier than anticipated. Rehman raised concerns about the long-term implications of glacier loss on water security, asking how future reservoir supplies would be sustained. Published in Dawn, June 19th, 2026

    BALOCHISTAN BUDGET 2026-27: Press shut out as Balochistan budget draws MPAs’ ire

    • Opposition leader Zehri slams Rs206bn development package as inadequate • Ministers defend tax-free plan as realistic • Budget papers withheld from journalists, public for first time • Dr Malik says plan ignores province’s realities QUETTA: The Balochistan government cancelled its post-budget press conference and withheld financial documents from the public on Thursday as lawmakers engaged in a fiery debate over the province’s 2026-27 budget. For the first time in the history, journalists were denied copies of the budget documents on the second day of the assembly session. Lawmakers, however, received the files on Wednesday when Finance Minister Shoaib Nosherwani formally presented the annual financial plan to the house. As debate opened, both opposition and treasury members severely criticised the spending plan. Lawmakers dismissed the Rs206 billion allocation for the Public Sector Development Programme as “peanuts”, criticising the government for failing to include significant, large-scale projects. They also noted that despite allocating massive funds for law and order, terrorism and instability in the province continued to worsen. Opposition Leader Mir Younas Aziz Zehri opened the debate, stating the development allocation was a grave injustice and insufficient for a province of its size. He claimed the federal government unfairly reduced Balochistan’s budget by Rs63bn. Zehri rejected allegations that lawmakers are responsible for corruption in development funding, clarifying that elected representatives only propose projects while government departments handle execution. “If corruption occurs, it happens at the departmental level,” Zehri said. He also condemned the recent use of force against protesting teachers and questioned the government’s promise of 5,000 new jobs, noting that thousands of vacancies announced last year remain unfilled. National Party President and former chief minister Dr Abdul Malik Baloch strongly rejected the federal and provincial budgets, describing them as entirely disconnected from the realities of Balochistan. He said the province’s core issue was the continuous denial of its political rights and control over resources. Despite Balochistan’s vast wealth in minerals, fisheries, and natural gas, Dr Malik said revenues from major assets are collected in Lahore and Karachi, leaving the province underdeveloped. Raising alarms over enforced disappearances, he urged leaders to abandon security-driven policies in favour of political dialogue. Provincial Education Minister Raheela Hameed Durrani defended the plan, describing the budget as realistic and tax-free. She argued that funding designated for community schools, university scholarships, and infrastructure upgrades reflected the government’s commitment to progress. Home Minister Mir Ziaullah Langove insisted the budget was balanced given current economic hardships, highlighting a 30pc increase in health spending and a 15pc increase in education funding. Addressing federal cutbacks, Langove revealed Islamabad initially planned to slash Rs94 billion from Balochistan’s share, but negotiations led by the chief minister reduced the cut to Rs58bn. The session was adjourned until Friday morning. Published in Dawn, June 19th, 2026
