A New Chapter in Climate Action: CHF & Commune Artist Colony Unite
In a historic moment on February 16, 2025, the Climate Hub Forum (CHF) signed a landmark MoU with the Commune Artist Colony—heralding a new era in sustainable urban development for Karachi and Pakistan. This sacred agreement, signed by Yousuf Bashir Qureshi (Founder, Commune Artist Colony), and witnessed by CHF prominent members, Hasnain Homaey, and Humera Hashmi, underscores our global commitment to UN SDGs, the Paris Agreement, the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, and the MAP Declaration which CHF signed at the recent UN Climate Change Conference in Baku.
Our Vision & Goals:
1.Transform Urban Landscapes: With projects such as the One Million Trees Initiative and Towards Zero Waste—including Plastic Free Beaches and Sustainable Destinations—CHF is reshaping urban environments into resilient, livable spaces.
2. Empower Through Education: Our Climate Change and Environmental Education Training Programs for Early Years and Primary Teachers pave the way for a future built on sustainability and awareness.
3. Revitalize Degraded Cities: As Karachi and other coastal cities face unprecedented environmental challenges—rising temperatures, worsening air quality, and urban degradation—the need for innovative, community-driven solutions has never been more urgent.
The Importance of This MoU:
This collaboration is not just an agreement—it’s a commitment to reversing the tide of global climate destruction. By uniting with the Commune Artist Colony, CHF leverages the power of art to foster environmental stewardship, inspire creative reimagining of public spaces, and mobilize communities in the fight against climate change. Recent data from Pakistan underscores the dire need for action: urban areas like Karachi are experiencing significant environmental degradation, making sustainable interventions a critical priority.
Voices of Leadership:
Erum Khan, Chairperson of CHF, shared, "This MoU is a testament to our resolve to create sustainable urban destinations and forge a harmonious relationship between nature and culture. Our collaboration with the Commune Artist Colony symbolizes a commitment to the future—one where art inspires action and green solutions take root."
Aamir Sadozai, Co-founder of CHF, added, "Uniting diverse voices through this partnership sets a new benchmark in climate diplomacy. Together, we are not only addressing environmental challenges but also nurturing a legacy of innovation, education, and cultural pride that will benefit our people and our planet for generations to come."
Join the Movement:
This historic collaboration calls on donors, government bodies, multinational corporations, and every Karachiite to join us in this transformative journey. Let’s harness the power of art and nature to rebuild our cities, restore our environment, and secure a sustainable future for Pakistan and the Global South.
