Musadik Malik announces $10m clean-air startup fund
Musadik Malik said the planned fund will come from the government's own limited resources and was cast as a duty to future generations, not a grant or loan.
Pakistan plans a $10 million fund aimed at clean-air startups.
Musadik Malik said financing would come from the government's own limited resources after partners were approached for support.
He framed the fund as an obligation to future generations, not a grant or loan, and said clean-air work would continue with or without outside backing.
He acknowledged climate-related support from the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, UNICEF and Germany's GIZ.
He linked air pollution to policy and economic choices and said its harms fall hardest on people with fewer means to protect themselves.
