Ambassador of Pakistan Saqlain Syedah Advocates for Climate Justice
Highlighting Inclusive Green Transition from COP to G20
December 11th, 2024
Ambassador Saqlain Syedah recently participated in a panel discussion titled "From COP to G20: An Inclusive Green Transition." The event focused on strategies for achieving a sustainable and equitable global transition to greener economies, as climate change continues to pose an urgent challenge.
During the discussion, Ambassador Syedah emphasized the importance of fair partnerships and equitable distribution of funds designated for addressing loss and damage caused by climate change. She underscored those countries most severely impacted by climate change—often those with the least resources to adapt—should be prioritized in funding decisions. Her remarks highlighted the critical need for global cooperation to ensure a just transition, where the burden of climate adaptation and mitigation is shared fairly across nations.
This conversation marks an essential step in bridging the commitments made at climate conferences like COP with the broader global policy agenda represented by forums such as the G20. The ambassador’s call for fairness and inclusivity serves as a timely reminder of the responsibilities shared by developed and developing nations in combating the global climate crisis.
