Climate Economics and Finance are completely ignored by the private sector based financial sector and other economic sector participants.
The climate-related financial disclosures aka #TFCDs and other nudges, being promoted by different global financial institutions and economic blocs, have not yet reached many countries.
Most banks and other firms are now investing in climate-related risk modelling and stress testing.
Central Banks in the Third World should ask licensed banks to do the same to promote a Green, Clean, and Care Economy.
Additionally, #ESG ratings should be assigned to projects, lending, investments, funds, commercial activities, and firms engaged in the economy.
Also, the local governments should develop National Risk Registers, which would enable them to counter climate-related topographical risks, using modern #GIS Analytics, which would send disaster early warning signals, to mitigate the risks of flooding, etc.
Also, Govts should issue more GREEN and BLUE Bonds to raise money to fight climate change risks namely, transition risks and physical risks, and promote ecological friendly expenditures.
Additionally, the Ecological Financial Markets with climate risk transfer products and mechanisms should be set up to develop a Sustainable and Responsible Financing Modus Operandi,
which will increase awareness, set carbon targets for all sectors of the economy, reduce Green Houses Gases, and ultimately reduce our overall #Emissions (CO2) Footprint.
Carbon-based pricing via taxation should also be inculcated within the framework of the fiscal policy mix to reduce negative #externalities.
Many reservations are that Climate Risk-Related Modelling and other taxonomy should not fall into the same trap as FRM Financial Risk Modelling has, over the years, which has destroyed the reputation of risk managers across a wide variety of sectors.

#Financial#Literacy begins at home.
Teach your children to save coins, and small notes, inside a locker, or some other toy which imitates a treasure chest.
Once they do that, they will be careful with spending and saving for the rest of their lives.
Awareness matters!
When I was a kid, I remember banks visiting my school to open student #savings accounts.
They used to give students #passbooks, which operated as cheque books.
Parents were cosignatories.
That is how I developed a passion for saving money.
Most of the developing economies fail to grow well because they have a savings crisis!
They need to import #capital from overseas to fund development projects and fix the gap between investment resources.
SE- Asian Nations have done well because of a high domestic #savings rate.
Never do a PhD Degree with your own money
It's not worth it.
You should only apply for research if scholarships are available and in addition to that, you can make some extra stipend through assistantships, on-campus work, etc.
I see many unemployed people committing this mistake
Look, if you cannot find a job after a BS/BA, or a Master's Degree, then there is either something wrong with your education or the economy in which you are applying for work.
But, investing more amount of money into education with gaining practical experience is pillage for unis
Have seen many STEM (excluding Computer Science or IT) students suffering from a mental blockade.
They keep on studying until they get stuck in the doctoral or post-doctoral program.
Utter waste of life, time and resources.
Better things to do in this world.
Scrutinized many MBA programmes, but seldom do I come across a course which teaches policy
A course titled "#Seminar in Business Policy" should be a capstone model taught to all #MBA Generalists.
Why business schools don't teach such courses as seminars or electives is beyond me?
Like where I have seen Business School Students suffer the most is when it comes to writing down a policy in their relevant area.
So, that is where consultants come in!
That makes matters worse.
Of course, #MBA is a professional qualification.
But, that does not imply professionals should have weak drafting skills.
Hence, for policy manuscripts, organizations turn to academicians or scholar-practitioners.
Business Pedagogics needs re-tooling, reskilling, & re-profiling.
In the first world, you can do a lot with this kind of degree.
Many political science graduates can find work as a journalist/editor/ reporter with the newspapers, or work as a consultant with the electronic and social media groups,
or as a social-cultural and /or political experts with the advertising firms, or get work at some media campaign advisory and publicity firm!
What Pakistan needs is a financial stability roadmap and with it, it shall attain a level of Macroeconomic stability with strong microeconomic foundations.
The entire purpose of macroeconomic stabilization programs is to provide that sense of security and stability, but, unfortunately, the IMF Lending Agreements, have not helped.
Pakistani macroeconomic structural imbalances remain a festering wound and resource gaps as a percentage of GDP are increasing, which makes us vulnerable to both external shocks and painfully delays internal adjustments.
