Staff Writer

Islamabad: The US Ambassador to Pakistan Ambassador Donald Armin Blome, paid a courtesy call on the Federal Minister for Climate Change Senator Sherry Rehman this week.

The Federal Minister congratulated the envoy on assumption of Office and expressed the desire to continue working together for tackling climate change issues.

The Federal Minister expressed her concern over Pakistan’s vulnerability to climate change, and the growing problem of “unprecedented” climate issues like severe heat waves and the ongoing monsoon rains, that have resulted in floods throughout the country.

While talking about future Pakistan-US cooperation on climate, Federal Minister remarked that Pak-US Climate and Environment Group must be made functional before COP 27 so that unfulfilled multilateral pledges can be actualized. The conversation also covered various areas of collaboration in the fields of technology, science and education.

Apprising Blome on the NDCs, the Minister discussed taking the climate cooperation forward between the two countries in continuation of the Minister Rehman’s recent Skype call with U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry.
