Pakistan urges regional climate solidarity pact

National Assembly Climate Body Chairperson Munaza Hassan on Monday called for forging a regional pact of climate solidarity: to legislate together, to innovate together and to speak with one voice in global negotiations.

"The world must know—the mountains that unite us are not only our shared heritage, they are our shared line of defence and history will not forgive hesitation," she said while speaking at a two- day Hindu Kush Himalaya Parliamentarians' moot in Kathmandu.

The high-level gathering brings together around 70 parliamentarians- primarily chairs, co-chairs and members of the environment and climate related parliamentary committees.
