Pakistani youth leader attending the annual Summer Davos Forum called for int’l efforts to address climate change. “It’s my first visit to China. I tried to leverage this opportunity to do something for my country Pakistan and its lovely people!” Muhammad Hassan Dajana, a Climate Action and Advocacy Professional from Pakistan, told China Economic Net (CEN) while attending the just-concluded 14th Annual Meeting.
This year’s Summer Davos Forum – scheduled from June 27 to 29 – gathered over 1,500 global leaders from business, government, civil society and international organizations as well as from among innovators and academics, at a crucial time for global economic recovery. Energy transition and materials supply, conservation of nature and climate are among the six major topics of the event.
“I am extremely happy to be selected by the Global Shapers Community an initiative of the World Economic Forum to participate in the AMNC as a delegate representing the Rawalpindi Hub from Pakistan,” Dajana noted. The AMNC 2023 facilitated dialogue and cooperation among policy-makers, business, technology pioneers, entrepreneurs and innovators to address the world’s most pressing challenges, including the climate, cost of living, energy and food crises.
As the co-Founder of Urban Sustainability Startup Green Squad and also the Program Manager of Amal Academy, Dajana told the reporter that the theme “Safeguarding Nature and Climate” is of particular relevance to his work. “Pakistan is responsible for less than 1% of the world’s planet-warming gases, yet it is one of the top ten most vulnerable nations to the climate crisis,” Dajana highlighted.
The world should join hands to increase green climate finance for relevant equipment; secondly, our adaptation and resilience. I think we have wonderful support from China as a wonderful leader; the third is that we need to plan better. We need collaborative networking with the rest of the world, using COP 15.
