Federal Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Coordination Dr. Musadik Malik met with Mr. Ma Jun, President of the Institute of Finance and Sustainability, China, in Islamabad on 4 May 2026 to discuss deepening cooperation on Green Finance and sustainable technology transfer.
Mr. Ma Jun outlined China’s Green Accelerator Program, launched in 2016 with 35 policy recommendations consolidated into one framework, and described how the country has built a green financing mechanism now valued at roughly USD 7 trillion. He noted China’s dominant role in manufacturing, producing about 70 percent of global wind and solar equipment and nearly 60 percent of electric vehicles, and how these strengths feed into international finance and project pipelines.
At the centre of the discussion was the aim to create bankable green projects by combining technology, finance, carbon markets and project design, an approach Mr. Ma Jun said is key to delivering scalable and commercially viable climate solutions. The conversation placed particular emphasis on practical pathways for deploying such models in Pakistan through tailored project design and investment structures.
Both leaders reviewed concrete examples of applied green solutions, including production of biochar from jute sticks in Bangladesh, intelligent precision irrigation systems implemented in China and Uzbekistan, and sustainable desert agriculture initiatives in Abu Dhabi. The meeting stressed the need to adapt these innovations to local conditions while ensuring they remain financially viable and attractive to investors.
Dr. Musadik Malik briefed Mr. Ma Jun on the Ministry’s under-process initiative called Green Fields, designed to connect young Pakistani entrepreneurs working on green ventures with national and international investors. The Minister welcomed China’s leadership in green finance and technology and reiterated Pakistan’s interest in adopting global best practices to accelerate a transition to a green and sustainable economy that creates opportunities for youth and local communities.
