Developed world should do more to reduce emissions: Sherry Rehman

Federal Minister for Climate Change Senator Sherry Rehman has stated that the developed world is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases and that the developed world should do more to reduce emissions rather than putting pressure on the most vulnerable countries.

She made these views during a session titled “The Future of Democracy” at the World Economic Forum 2022 in Davos, which is held every year.

Sherry said big international companies causing more pollution should show more responsibility to avoid environmental hazards.   

She said democracy is the only solution to the problems of a multicultural country like Pakistan as it represents and protects the weaker sections of society and involves consensus, transparency and accountability.                         

She said dictatorships receive more aid, but they are not based on consensus.

Sherry Rehman took charge of the Climate Change Ministry on April 20.
