ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan will address the global climate change event scheduled for December 12 – the fifth anniversary of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
According to an official statement, the Prime Minister has accepted British Premier Boris Johnson’s invitation and will address the summit via a video-link. “The premier will point out Pakistan’s climate change policies,” it added.
The statement further informed that PM Imran will appraise the attendees on PTI’s 10 Billion Tree Tsunami project, and PM’s Green Pakistan initiative. He will also discuss building national parks and the country’s renewable energy policy.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Boris Johnson announced to co-host a “landmark global event” on December 12. Dubbed as the ‘sprint to Glasgow’, the event will be held amid signs that the world is off-track to limit global temperature rise and that a carbon-free economy is long overdue.
“The climate emergency is fully upon us, and we have no time to waste,” Guterres said in a statement. “The answer to our existential crisis is swift, decisive, scaled up action and solidarity among nations,” he added.
The event will bring together leaders from across all levels of government, as well as the private sector and civil society, to present new measures, boosting ambition and action.
