Senator Sherry Rehman issued an urgent warning today during a pre-COP29 seminar organised by the Institute of Regional Studies (IRS), stating that unless immediate action is taken to address the negative impacts of climate change, we will be living in a world of “want, lack, and scarcity.” In her call to action, Senator Rehman stated that the destructive power of geopolitics and hyper-nationalism, which have steered the world toward global conflict, are obscuring the imminent threat of mutually assured destruction posed by climate change.
The seminar, entitled “Strengthening Transboundary Resilience: Enhancing Regional Cooperation,” brought together several distinguished experts to discuss critical issues and potential solutions for regional climate resilience.
Keynote speaker Mr. Usman e Ghani, Additional Commissioner of Indus Waters at the Ministry of Water Resources, provided an in-depth overview of the Indus Waters Treaty.
