Pakistan Climate Coalition (PCC)

Strengthening Climate Action Across Pakistan

The Pakistan Climate Coalition (PCC) is a national network established to accelerate coordinated, science-based, and community-driven climate action across Pakistan.

Founded under the leadership of Peace by Youth (PY), PCC brings together civil society organizations, researchers, youth leaders, businesses, and community stakeholders to collectively respond to the growing climate crisis facing our country.

Pakistan stands among the most climate-vulnerable nations in the world. From extreme heatwaves and devastating floods to water scarcity and food insecurity, climate change is no longer a distant threat — it is a present reality. PCC exists to transform this challenge into an opportunity for collaboration, innovation, and systemic change.

Through joint advocacy, capacity building, research partnerships, youth engagement, and sustainable community solutions, the Coalition works to:

  • Strengthen climate resilience at local and national levels
  • Promote renewable energy and low-carbon development
  • Support nature-based and community-led solutions
  • Influence climate policy aligned with global commitments
  • Empower youth as leaders of climate action

PCC is more than a platform — it is a movement for collective leadership, shared knowledge, and transformative impact.

Together, we are building a resilient, sustainable, and climate-just Pakistan
