What we do
-
Research
PRIED carries out evidence-based and actionable research on economic, social and environmental effects of the policies, plans and projects being pursued by Pakistan’s and federal and provincial governments as well as its multilateral and bilateral development partners in the energy and climate sectors.We collect, collate, clean and analyze.

Collaboration
Since its inception, PRIED has been engaged with communities affected by policies, plans and projects in the energy and climate sectors, particularly in Thar region where coal development has been going on since 2012-13. We are also collaborating strongly with national and international groups working on the confluence of energy and climate.
-
Advocacy
PRIED has been instrumental in the setting up of the Parliamentary Forum on Energy and Economy, a cross-party group of parliamentarians dedicated to addressing the energy-economy nexus from a public interest perspective. We also regularly engage with policymakers, policy implementers and Pakistan’s multilateral and bilateral development partners.

Outreach
PRIED has trained more than one hundred journalists and content creators on how to report about energy transition and climate justice from a public interest perspective. We have also partnered both with traditional news outlets and news startups to help them publish contents on topics ranging from rooftop solar to coal phaseout.
