MS Environmental Engineering
National University Of Sciences And Technology (NUST), Islamabad
I am a passionate Environmental Engineer from Pakistan with 5 years of experience in multi-sector development projects, including dams, roads, highways, WASH, infrastructure, and grid stations. I hold both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Environmental Engineering, securing a 4.0/4.0 CGPA in my Master's with one published research article and another under review. My research focused on developing a temporal multi-criteria decision-making framework for hybridizing hydropower plants with floating solar PV systems. Currently, I serve as an Environment and Climate Expert at the Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC), which implements the World Bank-funded Punjab Cities Program (PCP) and Punjab Inclusive Cities Program (PICP) in 32 cities. These projects cover water supply, sewerage, stormwater, wastewater treatment, and landfill development. I am responsible for managing environmental, social, and climate aspects, including risk identification and mitigation planning. I am deeply interested in climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation initiatives to reduce Pakistan’s vulnerability to climate change.
I am eager to join Sustainability Global because it aligns perfectly with my professional goals, academic background, and personal commitment to addressing the climate crisis. With a strong foundation in Environmental Engineering and over five years of experience in multi-sector development projects in Pakistan, I have seen firsthand the urgent need for scalable, innovative, and inclusive climate solutions—especially in developing countries. Currently, I work as an Environment and Climate Expert at the Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC), where I contribute to World Bank-funded urban infrastructure programs. These initiatives—such as the Punjab Cities Program (PCP) and Punjab Inclusive Cities Program (PICP)—are designed to improve urban services like water supply, sewerage, and solid waste management in 32 secondary cities of Punjab. My role involves assessing environmental, social, and climate risks and designing actionable mitigation strategies. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of the practical challenges and opportunities in implementing sustainable development at the city level. What excites me about Sustainability Global is its dynamic, global platform that empowers climate professionals to connect, learn, and collaborate on impactful sustainability initiatives. I see this as an opportunity to broaden my global perspective, share the unique challenges faced by climate-vulnerable communities in Pakistan, and contribute my expertise in climate adaptation, resilience building, and low-carbon urban development. Furthermore, I bring with me academic research experience, including a published article and an ongoing study on hybridizing hydropower with floating solar PV systems. This research, which integrates decision-making frameworks for site selection and techno-economic analysis, reflects my interest in innovative renewable energy solutions—a field I believe Sustainability Global actively engages in. Joining this community would enable me to learn from global best practices, collaborate on transnational climate projects, and expand my technical and strategic knowledge in climate policy, finance, and sustainability planning. It will also support my long-term goal of becoming a climate leader in Pakistan who can drive evidence-based policies and projects to enhance the country's resilience and transition to a greener economy. In summary, Sustainability Global offers the right platform, network, and learning environment to help me grow as a sustainability professional while allowing me to contribute meaningfully to its mission. I am confident that my background, dedication, and field experience make me a valuable addition to this global movement for a sustainable future.
