Farmers’ Climate Assembly

Empowering Farmers. Strengthening Climate Action

Climate Alliance Pakistan, in strategic collaboration with key partners, is launching a pioneering Farmers’ Climate Assembly at the district and provincial levels in Punjab. Designed as a participatory platform within the broader momentum of Climate Action Weeks, the Assembly places farmers at the center of climate dialogue, solutions, and policy action.

The initiative directly supports the objectives of the Punjab Climate Action Plan while creating operational linkages with development and finance mechanisms, including the World Bank’s Resilient and Accessible Microfinance Project. Through a bottom-up approach, the Assembly will elevate grassroots voices, identify locally grounded priorities, and translate farmer-led insights into actionable policy pathways that enable resilient, low-carbon, and environmentally sustainable agricultural practices.

During the pilot phase, the Assembly will be convened across four strategic districts in South Punjab, embedded within the programming and stakeholder ecosystem of the region’s Climate Action Weeks. These districts will serve as living laboratories for testing inclusive climate governance, innovative adaptation strategies, and climate-smart rural finance models.

Building on pilot outcomes, Climate Alliance Pakistan will scale the Farmers’ Climate Assembly across all districts of Punjab, with a long-term vision of replication in other provinces nationwide. Insights, evidence, and lessons learned will be systematically documented and shared with policymakers, practitioners, and partners across South Asia and the Global South — strengthening South-South cooperation and accelerating the adoption of scalable, farmer-centered climate solutions.
