November 10, 2026

 

Amb. Haroon Shaukat (Former Diplomat):Leaders’ Summit of the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-31), being held in Turkiye, is very significant regarding coping with the challenges of climate change, rising temperatures, weather patterns and others. Pakistan has been making endevours to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Therefore, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has left for Turkiye to attend COP-31. In think that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will highlight Pakistan’s efforts to strengthen disaster preparedness and early-warning systems. Richer contributors to greenhouse gases emissions don’t follow any deadline for abandoning traditional fossil fuels. On the other side, Pakistan doesn’t have enough resources to counter the climate change related challenges. Fossil fuels are bringing dangerous impacts for the world. Therefore, we need to have policy of electric and hybrid mechanism to cut tune greenhouse gases emissions. The governments need to focus on clean energy promotion in the world. Clean energy is the future of the world and China has shown it to the world by increasing the EVs in massive quantities. I think that Pakistan and Turkiye can do lot on climate change issue by using their influence collectively. Turkiye has also adopted a great deal of renewal energy resources. Moreover, Turkiye is very influential in Muslim world as well as European Union.
