Regrettably no credible and concrete steps have been taken by the global community to ward off the debilitating effects of phenomenon of climate change. Two international protocols have been signed according to which the industrial nations have made commitments to reduce the emissions of green houses gases and also help the poor nations who have been affected by climate change to deal with the impact of climate change. UN Secretary General during a special session dedicated to climate change also reiterated “Pakistan is a double victim of climate chaos and of our outdated and unjust global financial system.
