WASHINGTON: The US State Department said on Thursday that Washington looked forward to working with Islamabad on the climate crisis at different levels.
The department announced earlier in the day that Special Presidential Envoy for climate John Kerry would travel to Abu Dhabi, New Delhi, and Dhaka from April 1 to 9 for consultations on the matter.
The schedule, however, does not include Islamabad. Mr Kerry, a former US secretary of state, will hold talks with Emirati, Indian and Bangladeshi leaders for “increasing climate ambition” ahead of two major international events, the State Department said.
Abu Dhabi: The UAE will convene a regional climate dialogue on April 4 to discuss preparations for the 26th United National Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26).
The dialogue will see the participation of John Kerry, United States special presidential envoy for climate, COP 26 president Alok Sharma, International Renewable Energy Agency director general Franceso La Camera, as well as ministers and high-level climate representatives from the region. The COP26 summit, scheduled to be held in Glasgow, UK in November 2021, will then focus on accelerated action to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
