And the floods were a major challenge to the -- not only the people of Pakistan but also to our strategy, because we had adopted anapproachto change how we were doing aid to be much more responsive to what the Pakistanis themselves needed and wanted as opposed to what we thought they should need or want.
On the other hand, however, in an era where doing nothing is an optimistic scenario, the can-kicking approachto fiscal policy can be a misleading panacea, as it avoids addressing the issues that postponement causes.
Such anapproach will create a sound carbon management framework for the sector and in so doing, move policy closer to the integrated treatment of fossil energy and terrestrial GHG sources ultimately needed for effective climate protection.
