  "summary": "Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called for grant-based finance and enhanced resilience and adaptation funds for climate-vulnerable countries at the COP31 summit in Turkey on Thursday. Addressing the global gathering, Shehbaz highlighted Pakistan's commitment to clean energy while emphasizing that national efforts alone are insufficient to address the climate crisis. He stressed the urgent need for a \"fair and just global response,\" particularly for vulnerable nations that require timely financial assistance without exacerbating their debt burdens. Specifically, Pakistan advocated for \"grant-based finance, including public-private partnerships, alongside significant improvements in resilience and adaptation funds, which are critical survival funds for struggling economies.\"",
