PM Shehbaz Attending ECO Summit on Climate Issues

The main topic of the ECO Summit is “New ECO Vision for a Sustainable and Climate Resilient Future.”

At the Summit, Shehbaz Sharif will:

Reaffirm Pakistan’s support for the ECO Vision 2025.

Ask for more trade and better transport links between ECO countries.

Talk about working together on energy and climate-friendly development.

He will also meet with leaders of other ECO countries to discuss issues that are important to both sides.

Pakistan’s Climate Concerns

Pakistan has often spoken out about the global climate crisis. Although the country produces less than 1% of the world’s carbon emissions, it suffers some of the worst effects of climate change.

Problems like rising temperatures, unusual rainfall, and fast-melting glaciers are causing more natural disasters. These issues are harming food supplies, public health, and the economy.

The 2022 floods showed how vulnerable Pakistan is to climate change. Over 33 million people were affected, more than 1,700 died, and over 8 million lost their homes.

The floods destroyed roads, buildings, and crops, causing around $14.8 billion in damage and $15.2 billion in economic losses.
