PM leaves for Egypt to seek 'climate justice' during COP27.

Ahead of leaving for Egypt, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif shared on Sunday that he will be demanding 'climate justice' during the COP27.

The premier in a series of tweets, shared that the climate conference 'can be a watershed in humanity's fight against climate change and global warming'. He added that the 'extreme climatic events in Pakistan and Horn of Africa' in 2022 have shown climate change's globalisation, urging that if a 'blind eye' is kept on it then it's 'lethal effects will be criminal'.

'As chair of G-77, I will urge the world to deliver on its commitment on climate finance and loss and damage fund. Without financial support, the developing countries will continue to remain exposed to the multifarious threats of climate change. We are asking for climate justice,' tweeted PM Shehbaz.

The premier highlighted that Pakistan's post-disaster needs assessment has shown that its 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.

'The world should treat Pakistan as a case study,' he concluded.
