Geneva: Federal Minister for Climate Change Dr. Mossadak Malik on Thursday made a strong appeal to the international community to measure support for developing countries for transfer to the green economy, and warn that global climate goals are at risk of decreasing without any comprehensive action.
He was addressing a high -level conference in Geneva, which was organized by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) at Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Convention (COP).
Talking to the Ministerial Panel Discussion, Dr. Malik stressed that the green standards should be comprehensive and equal globally rather than acting as obstacles in the poorer countries.
“Green development standards should not be a burden but a chance for developing countries,” he added, “he added,” World standards should be for everyone, not just wealthy countries, but for everyone. “
“I think the biggest obstacle I see is that developing countries of the world do not appear,” he said in his initial remarks. He said in the same breath, “But I think that when I hear this debate, what I do not see is essential to developing countries.”
“There is no doubt that people, especially in the developing economies, have the economic burden of the disease.”
He highlighted the financial challenges facing countries like Pakistan, noting that it has only 350 million millions in private departments in its 240 million population – which is very low for financing for green measures.
He added, “Without proper resources, technology transfer, and research support, the green economy is beyond the accession of developing countries.”
Dr. Malik called on the international community to ensure justice in climate policies, and warn that environmental goals cannot be achieved without the inclusion of developing countries.
“Developing countries should be involved in the global economy, not left on the margin,” he said.
Demanding a bold action, he concluded, “The world wants to make brave decisions for a shared green future.”
Practical obstacles must be eliminated by mobilizing resources, not statements.
The summit is discussing the equivalent climate action strategy amid the increasing pressure to meet the goals of global stability.
