\nAt the invitation of Egyptian Presidency of COP-27, the Prime Minister will co-chair, along with his Norwegian counterpart, a high-level roundtable discussion on \u201cClimate Change and the sustainability of vulnerable communities\u201d, tomorrow.
\nHe is also scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with several world leaders on the margins of the summit.

\nMeanwhile Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a tweet said, as Chair of G-77, he will urge the world to deliver on its commitment on climate finance and loss and damage fund.
\nHe said the COP-27 being held in Egypt can be a watershed in humanity’s fight against climate change and global warming.
\nThe Prime Minister said extreme climatic events in Pakistan and Horn of Africa this year have showcased globalisation of climate change.
\nHe said without financial support, the developing countries will continue to remain exposed to multifarious threats of climate change.
\nThe Prime Minister said our post-disaster needs assessment has shown that Pakistan’s journey to recovery and rehabilitation can be held back by public debt, rising international energy and food prices and lack of access to adaption funds.
