K- Bilawal denounces killings of Kashmiris Fair price stalls required to control profiteering KARACHI: Like previous year, this Ramzan also begin with sharp price hike, with rates of eatables, fruits and vegetables touching the sky. However, the city needs a lot of fair price shops and stalls by the government and philanthropists to ensure that poor and low income people can also purchase Seheri and Iftari for their families. Poor planning at the government level, cruel profiteering mentality of traders and shopkeepers and low role of philanthropists and religious organizations to set up fair price shops and stalls in the city are behind the neck-breaking price hike in the holy month of Ramazan. There is a need to introduce the culture of selling daily use commodities, especially eatables, at low profit margin to greet the holy month of Ramzan. If the citizens, social organizations and philanthropists arrange fair price shops and stalls at community level, the blessings of Ramzan could also be extended to the poor and low income families. It is suggested that besides arranging Iftar stalls on roads and streets, the generous Karachiites and sensible trade community should also arrange community level fair price stalls to facilitate people.

Pakistan 7th most adversely affected country in world by climate change KARACHI: Pakistan is 7th most adversely affected country in the world by climate change. Despite having high vulnerability of future climatic changes. According to Pakistan's new Economic Survey 2016-17 , the government has developed national policy to combat climate change and an action plan is being developed to effectively implement its concerns through sustainable planning. To materialize the efforts regarding protection of climate change, the government has recently passed “Pakistan Climate Change Act 2017”. The legislation has in turn created climate Change Fund, Climate Change Council and Climate Change Authority to implement the Climate Change Act. Keeping in view the challenges and distortions caused by global climate change, the worldwide efforts are underway to mitigate the devastating effects. Pakistan, like many other countries, is fully cognizant of this issue and has already undertaken various programs and projects. Sustainable Land Management Program with UNDP assistance is being implemented at a cost of Rs.105.400 million. Sustainable Land Management Program with UNDP assistance is being implemented at a cost of Rs.105.400 million. For integrated management of land and water resources; measures to rehabilitate degraded rangeland; measures to improve dry and forest and control shifting sand dunes over an area of 80,000 hectares in 200 villages and creating climate resilience. These interventions are aimed at restoring ecosystem services including carbon sequestration, and will help to support improved and new livelihood opportunities.

Most countries still not prepared to tackle Ebola and Zika diseases KARACHI: Despite progress made since the Zika and Ebola crises, a report released today by the International Working Group on Financing Preparedness (IWG), established by the World Bank, shows that most countries are not adequately prepared for a pandemic, and the world is still doing too little to finance recommended actions to strengthen pandemic preparedness. The report, entitled From Panic and Neglect to Investing in Health Security: Financing Pandemic Preparedness at a National Level, lays out 12 recommendations to ensure the adequate financing of the capabilities and infrastructure required to prevent, identify, contain, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks. Many countries chronically underinvest in critical public health functions like disease surveillance, diagnostic laboratories, and emergency operations centers, which enable the early identification and containment of outbreaks. So far, 37 countries have completed the rigorous peer-reviewed assessments, called the Joint External Evaluation (JEE), of their preparedness capacities to identify their gaps and needs. But that leaves 162 countries that have not. Moreover, only two of the countries that have completed this assessment have used the results to devise costed plans. The report urges national governments to prioritize financing preparedness in their domestic budgets, as should international donors.
