In November 2021, the Research Directorate, Office of Sustainability, established a NUST Climate Change Advisory Board. The Board included thought leaders and researchers in SDG 13: Climate Action, based on their current and previous contributions to the field.

The Board’s first task is to develop a NUST Climate Action Plan (NCAP). A draft of the NCAP has now been formulated, and the Plan will be officially launched in February 2023. The Plan includes a comprehensive timeline to direct Climate Action within NUST and align it with national work on Climate Action.

Board members currently include:

• Fahim Khokhar
• Hamza Farooq Gabriel
