Minister for Climate Change Dr. Musadik Malik has highlighted the growing importance of artificial intelligence in climate governance and disaster risk management, stressing its predictive and preventive potential.

Speaking at the National Artificial Intelligence Workshop in Islamabad today, he said AI could help address Pakistan's challenges related to fragmented and limited data, which often hinder effective policymaking.

Referring to the Pakistan Vulnerability Report, the Minister said twenty districts had been identified as highly vulnerable to climate risks, including eighteen in Balochistan and two in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
