At Getz Pharma, we recognize that environmental health is integral to public health. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our operations to initiatives that drive meaningful dialogue and action for a healthier planet. As part of this mission, we are committed to supporting the Critical Futures Conference 2025: Designing Sustainable Ecologies, held at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture (IVS) in Karachi on February 7-8, 2025.

Addressing the Climate Challenge in Pakistan and the Global South

Pakistan ranks among the top ten countries most affected by climate change, as cited in the 2020 Global Climate Risk Index report. Despite contributing less than 1% of global carbon emissions, the country faces disproportionate environmental consequences. The Critical Futures Conference provides a platform to address these urgent challenges by fostering interdisciplinary discourse on sustainability, innovation, and resilience, particularly within the Global South.

This year’s conference centers on localized strategies for climate action. While global conversations on sustainability are essential, they often overlook the unique challenges and ecological vulnerabilities of regions like Pakistan. Critical Futures aims to bridge this gap by focusing on region-specific solutions that integrate environmental, urban, and social factors into sustainable design and policy.

Getz Pharma’s Commitment to a Greener Future

As a leading pharmaceutical company, Getz Pharma understands that sustainable health solutions extend beyond medicine—they encompass clean air, safe water, and a stable climate. Our environmental initiatives align with the goals of the Critical Futures Conference, reinforcing our pledge to:

• Reduce our carbon footprint through energy-efficient manufacturing processes.
• Promote responsible waste management and eco-friendly packaging solutions.
• Support research and initiatives that drive climate resilience.

By supporting the Critical Futures Conference 2025, we are investing in a future where science, innovation, and sustainability intersect to create resilient communities and healthier environments.

Driving Meaningful Change Through Collaboration

The Critical Futures Conference brings together academics, policymakers, industry leaders, and environmental advocates to explore how urban planning, design, and policy can mitigate the effects of climate change. It serves as a catalyst for new ideas that can reshape Pakistan’s approach to sustainability.

At Getz Pharma, we believe that collaboration is key to driving lasting change. Through our support for the Critical Futures Conference 2025, we reaffirm our dedication to advancing environmental sustainability as a corporate and social responsibility. By fostering knowledge-sharing and innovation, we hope to contribute to a sustainable and equitable future for all.
