The government of Egypt is hosting the 27th session of the Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP27) with a view to effectively tackling the global challenge of climate change.
Pakistan’s invitation to the summit, along with other countries, signifies the importance to implement and transform key climate-related decisions into concrete actions and credible plans.
PM Shehbaz urges world to undo ‘climate injustice’
At the invitation of the Egyptian Presidency of COP-27, PM Shehbaz will also co-chair a high-level roundtable discussion on “Climate Change and the sustainability of vulnerable communities” along with his Norwegian counterpart.
COP-27 is taking place at a time when millions of people in Pakistan, and millions more in other parts of the world, are facing severe adverse impacts of climate change.
As a developing country most affected by this phenomenon, Pakistan will make a robust call, inter alia, for the urgency of climate solidarity and climate justice based on the established principles of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.
In a tweet, PM Shehbaz said that the deliberations by the world leaders will shape the future of our struggle against climate change.
