ISLAMABAD (January 26, 2026): Ambassador of Denmark to Pakistan Ms Maja Mortensen on Monday called on Federal Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Coordination Dr Musadik Malik to discuss climate action, science diplomacy and bilateral cooperation.

The meeting focused on the changing global political landscape and its implications for international cooperation on climate issues. Dr Malik said countries of the Global South were facing a disproportionate impact of climate change despite contributing minimally to global emissions.

He noted that nearly 70 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions come from just ten countries, which also receive about 85pc of global green financing, underscoring the need for more equitable climate finance.

Dr Malik appreciated the progressive environmental policies and social welfare models of Nordic countries and briefed the ambassador on Pakistan’s plan to establish a Green University to promote climate research, joint initiatives, and student and faculty exchange programmes.

Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation in climate action and science diplomacy.
