Dr Fahad Saeed is a climate impacts scientist based in Islamabad. He writes on how climate impacts are exacerbating power and development issues, despite Pakistan’s negligible emissions, and how the floods could reframe the debate on Loss and Damage ahead of COP27 in Egypt this year.

Ocean thermal energy conversion – what is it and what role could it play for Small Island States in the Caribbean?
