ANKARA: The Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Coordination of Pakistan, Senator Dr. Musadik Masood Malik, has called for a reevaluation of global financing strategies to ensure climate justice. Speaking at an event in Türkiye, Dr. Malik highlighted the disproportionate burden faced by countries with minimal greenhouse gas emissions.
According to Radio Pakistan, Dr. Malik emphasized that nations contributing the least to global emissions are suffering some of the most severe impacts of climate change. He urged the international community to reassess its financing priorities, noting that Pakistan accounts for less than one percent of global emissions but is among the countries most affected by climate-related disasters.
Dr. Malik stressed the necessity for international climate commitments to evolve into tangible support. He identified key areas requiring urgent attention, including glacier monitoring, early-warning systems, adaptation measures, scientific research, and the recovery of communities affected by climate disasters.
