The United Nations called for quick collective action on the climate in Afghanistan
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has announced that it calls for immediate collective action to stop the destructive effects of climate change in this country.
UNAMA called Afghanistan one of the least prepared countries for climate challenges and said that this country is in the sixth rank of the most affected country in the world due to climate-related threats.
UNAMA added that Afghanistan is currently permanently vulnerable to natural disasters, which cause casualties and damage to lives, property, houses and infrastructure.
Dr. Ramez Al-Akbarov, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations and Coordinator of Humanitarian Affairs of this organization, said: “It is the ordinary people of Afghanistan who suffer the most when such incidents occur.”
He added: “It is very annoying that the most vulnerable Afghans repeatedly suffer environmental disasters, while we always manage short-term crises, create long-term flexibility and adaptability, and in the absence of adequate funding for this “Adaptation becomes increasingly challenging.”
Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations, also said in the conference (COP27), which opens today, to create the basis for faster and bolder climate actions in the decisive decade ahead when the global climate war is won or lost.
It should be mentioned that this year, the residents of most provinces of Afghanistan have witnessed the occurrence of earthquakes and floods, which resulted in loss of life and huge financial losses.
