Coordinator on Climate Change Romina Khurshid Alam says the government has taken steps for the health of mother and child. Addressing an event in Islamabad on Wednesday, she highlighted the importance of breastfeeding, emphasizing there is a greater need to create awareness in this regard. Highlighting climate change impacts on mothers' access to healthy nutrition, the coordinator on Climate Change said Pakistan is on the frontline of climate change impacts, facing extreme weather events, water scarcity and shifts in agricultural productivity. She said as climate change exacerbates poverty and food insecurity, women and children are at increased risk of malnutrition. She emphasized the need for hammering out policies and action plans to protect the breastfeeding women from exacerbating fallouts of climate change, particularly floods and heat waves.
