The Knowledge Forum

The Knowledge Forum (TKF) team, accompanied by a representative from its partner organization, the Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research (PILER), met with the President of Pakistan Peoples Party (Sindh), Mr. Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, at his residence in DHA Karachi on June 6, 2026. The meeting was also attended by the President of the Peoples Labour Bureau, Mr. Habibuddin Junaidi.
During the meeting, TKF presented the Charter of Demands jointly developed by the Alliance for Climate Justice and Clean Energy (ACJCE) and the Pakistan Renewable Energy Coalition (PREC), highlighting the urgent need for a just and sustainable energy transition in Pakistan.
TKF Director Ms. Zeenia Shaukat underscored Sindh's immense potential in renewable energy, particularly solar and wind power, and emphasized the importance of harnessing these resources to address Pakistan's ongoing energy challenges. She noted that the recent war between the United States and Iran has led to a rise in global oil prices, significantly impacting Pakistan's energy sector and contributing to increased costs of fuel, electricity, and gas. These rising costs, she stressed, have placed an additional burden on ordinary citizens.
Mr. Khuhro acknowledged Sindh's leading role in the country's energy production and its contribution to supplying electricity nationwide. He agreed that the province's vast solar and wind energy potential should be fully utilized to reduce electricity costs, strengthen energy security, and help eliminate prolonged load-shedding.
Mr. Habibuddin Junaidi and Mr. Abbas Haider of PILER also highlighted the challenges faced by workers and low-income communities, who continue to suffer the economic and social consequences of persistent power outages.
