Pakistan is one of the places where the alarm bells for water and food security set off by climate change are ringing loudest. At this pre-CoP28 dialogue in Islamabad, it’s clear that the challenges are complex and steep. But, Pakistan is mobilising to respond.
@HennyFdeVries@NLinPakistan @IWMI_Pakistan "We all know that the cost of climate change for Pakistan is very high. And this cost will only increase, if we don't take steps to mitigate the impact of climate change and natural disasters.
So it is crucial that we all work together & put water on the International agenda".
