Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday departed from Samarkand after completing his two-day visit to Uzbekistan mainly to attend the annual Meeting of the Council of heads of state of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).
\n\u201cLeaving Samarkand on a satisfactory note. There is now a renewed awareness about the potent threat of climate change,\u201d the prime minister, who spoke in detail at the summit about the threats posed by climate change and the devastation caused by climate change-induced floods in Pakistan, wrote in a Twitter post.
\nDuring his address earlier, the premiere called upon the SCO member states to come up with Pakistan-specific programmes on climate change as the country faced the devastating impact of this phenomenon.
\n\u201cThis climatic injustice has befallen us despite the fact that our carbon emission is less than one per cent [of the global emission],\u201d the prime minister said in his address at the SCO moot.
\nThe prime minister\u2019s call to the SCO members came in the wake of the recent flash floods in Pakistan that wreaked havoc to the livelihood of millions and infrastructure across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
