Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif joined world leaders on Wednesday at the 31st Conference of
the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-31). The
leaders gathered to discuss global climate issues and find ways to deal with the growing threat
of climate change.

When Prime Minister Shehbaz arrived at the summit venue, he was warmly welcomed by
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and United Nations Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres.

The prime minister later joined other world leaders for a group photograph before the formal
proceedings began. Several international leaders are attending the summit to discuss climate
challenges and possible solutions.

During the summit, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will address world leaders and call for
practical steps to tackle climate change. He will highlight the serious effects of climate change
on the planet and stress the need for global cooperation.

He will also discuss Pakistan’s efforts to increase the use of solar energy and expand its
renewable energy capacity. These steps are part of the country’s efforts to move towards
cleaner energy and build a stronger economy that can better handle climate challenges.
The prime minister will also highlight Pakistan’s work to improve disaster preparedness and
early-warning systems. These measures are important for protecting people and reducing
damage caused by floods and other natural disasters.

Apart from addressing the main summit, Prime Minister Shehbaz will attend a High-Level
Roundtable arranged by the COP-31 Presidency. The meeting will take place alongside the
Leaders’ Summit.

He is also expected to hold important bilateral meetings with Turkish leaders and several other
world leaders. These meetings will provide an opportunity to discuss cooperation and
strengthen relations with other countries.

Pakistan’s participation in COP-31 reflects its efforts to raise awareness about climate change
and promote international cooperation. The country aims to encourage stronger global action to
protect the environment and support communities affected by climate-related disasters.
