Washington: US
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson has demanded that Pakistan be invited to the
World Climate Change Conference, saying that Pakistan is also struggling
with the problems caused by climate change.
According to the
international website, Sheila Jackson Lee, a member of the US
Congress has written a letter to US President Joe Biden's special envoy
John Kerry asking him to invite Pakistan to the US Climate Change Conference.
In her letter, Sheila
Jackson said that Pakistan is also struggling with the problems caused by
climate change.
He said the rapid melting of glaciers posed a threat to rivers and Pakistan was a key ally of The United States in the region. A joint strategy should be adopted with Islamabad
on the issue of climate change.
It should be noted that
US President Joe Biden has announced a Virtual Summit / Conference on Climate
Change on 22nd and 23rd and 40 world leaders have been invited in this regard.
The summit comes as the
United States rejoins the Paris Agreement following the departure of former US
President Donald Trump and a UN conference in Glasgow in November this year.
Later, Prime Minister
Imran Khan wrote an article in the British newspaper Times detailing his views
on tackling climate change.
In the article, the
Prime Minister highlighted the challenges facing Pakistan due to climate
change. He said that last summer, Pakistan faced the worst rains of the century
when the monsoon rains wreaked havoc.
"I see that the
environmental conference COP 26 is failing without an economic agreement. In my
opinion, the environmental conference should be linked to economic agreements,"
he wrote.
The Prime Minister wrote
in his article that Pakistan ranks eighth in the Global Climate Risk Index,
which is why Pakistan has been directly affected by climate change on 152
occasions in the last 20 years.
