Bhutan’s Journey Toward Prosperity
From my perspective, working in climate finance, the Bhutan Resource Mobilization Plan (BRMP) is not simply about mobilizing more resources; it is about mobilizing the right kind of resources. Bhutan’s comparative advantage lies in its hydropower potential, vast forest cover, and strong environmental stewardship under the philosophy of Gross National Happiness. The plan strategically leverages these assets through energy exports, carbon market participation, and emerging instruments such as green bonds and a national climate fund to generate predictable and sustainable revenue streams.

From Policy to Practice: Institutionalizing Climate Resilience in Pakistan’s Fiscal Framework
In the corridors of the Ministry of Finance, the conversation around fiscal policy has shifted dramatically. A few years ago, “climate resilience” was often treated as an environmental concern, relegated to line ministries. Today, having managed the USD 1.4 billion Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) over the last two years, I see it differently: climate risk is a macroeconomic risk, and our fiscal sustainability is intrinsically linked to how well we prepare for the climate reality.
