DUBAI: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar participated in the Global Stock Take (GST) High-Level Event on Means of Implementation on Saturday during the World Climate Action Summit (WCAS) in Dubai.
During a roundtable discussion, the Prime Minister underscored the urgency of addressing the climate crisis and emphasized the critical need for sufficient means of implementation, including climate finance, capacity-building, and technology support, particularly for developing nations grappling with this escalating challenge.
Highlighting that climate finance is pivotal to catalyzing effective climate action, Prime Minister Kakar expressed concerns that the financial requirements of developing countries far exceed the unfulfilled pledge of US$100 billion.
He called for a substantial increase in the development and transfer of proven climate technologies, accompanied by enhanced capacity-building efforts for developing nations.
The Prime Minister stressed the importance of greater coherence and coordination within the United Nations system to tackle climate-related issues effectively.
