Addressing a session in the Pakistan pavilion during the international forum (COP-28), Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi emphasised that the international community should put pressure on India to address the hazardous smog problem, adding that discussions should be held to find a solution.
The Indian Punjab’s widespread crop burning has caused haze, which has had a negative impact on Pakistan’s Punjab. CM stated that efforts to address climate change must be coordinated worldwide since it is a problem that affects everyone, regardless of national borders. Pakistan and India are both suffering from the unfavourable conditions brought on by the haze. India and Pakistan must work together to end the pollution.
