PESHAWAR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Jan, 2025) Right To Information (RTI) is not merely a legal tool but a key that unlocks citizens engagement into governance.
By granting access to information, it ensures transparency and openness in government initiatives for mitigating Climate Change as it bounds institutions to provide citizen-requested information within the stipulated time period.
This was stated by Syed Saadat Jahan, Deputy Director Communication, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa information Commission (KPIC), while addressing the participants of a workshop titled “Climate Change Mitigation, Adaptation, and Social Accountability to Enhance Citizens’ Participation in Climate Governanceâ€.
