Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that nations cannot put up real resilience without climate justice, stressing the need to boost climate funding for developing nations.
“As the minus-one emitters, we should not brave the impact of emmissions realised by others without even the tools to finance resilience. Without climate justice, there can be no real resilience,” the premier told the COP29 Climate Action Summit, taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan on Wednesday.
Nearly 200 nations are negotiating global action on climate change at the summit aimed at climate fundraising to help transition to clean energy and adaptation to a warmer world.
The summit seeks to reach a deal that ensures up to trillions of dollars in financing for climate projects worldwide.
“I would not want other countries to face the plight Pakistan faced back in 2022. Pakistan is a resilient, hard-working, and responsible nation. We are fully committed to being part of the global climate solutions,” PM Shehbaz said.
He added that the incumbent government in the country has taken concrete actions to deliver on its commitment to producing 60% of all energy from clean sources and shifting 30% of our vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) by the end of this decade.
