Mr. President, this year I must again retreat the threat posed to mankind due to climate change. Unprecedented fires in Australia, Siberia, California, Brazil, unprecedented flooding in various parts of the world, record temperatures, even in the Arctic Circle. This should make all of us worried for our future generations. Commitments made through the Paris agreements must be fulfilled. In particular, the commitment to mobilize 100 billion US dollars annually as climate finance. Pakistan's contribution to carbon emissions is minimal. But it is one of those countries most affected by climate change. But we have decided to take the lead as we consider addressing climate change a universal responsibility. We have launched an extremely ambitious program to plant 10 billion trees in the next three years as a contribution to mitigating the effects of climate change.
