Progressive Climate Foundation – PCF Foundation and President Mr. Tawseef was invited as a guest speaker at the International Islamic University, Islamabad (IIUI), for a seminar titled 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐃𝐆𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞: 𝐀 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 organized by the Department of Educational Leadership and Management.

PCF President Muhammad Tawseef Khan talked about 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞, in which he sparked a powerful conversation about the beautiful alignment between Islamic principles and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He explored how core tenets of Islam – social justice, poverty eradication, environmental stewardship, and education – resonate profoundly with the SDGs, creating a potent blueprint for progress.

But here’s the sobering reality: despite Pakistan’s vibrant youth, only 1% are familiar with the SDGs. This highlights a critical knowledge gap we urgently need to bridge.

That’s where the Progressive Climate Foundation comes in. We’re dedicated to empowering young people in Pakistan to become active agents of change. Through targeted education, skills development, and fostering a culture of social responsibility, we equip them with the tools they need to tackle climate challenges and build a more just, equitable, and sustainable future.

The energy and enthusiasm of the students at IIUI were truly inspiring. They represent the immense potential waiting to be unlocked!

Join us in this crucial mission. Together, by harnessing the power of Islamic values and the SDGs, we can create a world where harmony and progress go hand-in-hand.
