Pakistan is the eighth most vulnerable country to climate change. As it struggles under the burden of a growing population and multiple development challenges, the impact of climate catastrophes on its heavily agriculture dependent economy is dire and expected to worsen over time. Acumen is launching a $90M USD climate focused investment initiative in Pakistan targeting climate adaptation in the critical agriculture sector. The initiative will invest equity in growth stage agribusinesses focused on farmer and system level climate resilience to reconfigure the agriculture sector – building adaptive capacity, enhancing food security and supporting the rural economy in a way that strengthens Pakistan's ability to respond to climate threats.
