Senator Sherry Rehman on Thursday emphasized the need for immediate and genuine action to address climate change.
She was speaking as the chief guest at the “Road to Climate Resilient Pakistan: Reducing Our Carbon Footprint” conference, hosted by Islamic Relief Pakistan and the National Disaster Risk Management Fund (NDRMF), Sherry Rehman said, “Climate is one conversation that must connect from local to global because climate knows no barriers when it changes. It can impact people and communities anywhere in the world. We have just seen a cyclone hit Bangladesh, and floods in Brazil and Afghanistan. Pakistan, too, is in the middle of a debilitating, scorching heatwave.
She cited that Mohenjo Daro was recorded as the planet’s hottest place with 53 degrees centigrade, reminding the world that such temperatures don’t support human life.
