Leaders of the South Asian countries have been urged to reaffirm their commitments and pledges at the upcoming 18th SAARC summit for a coordinated regional response to meet the interdependent challenges of climate change, disasters and food insecurity.
Speakers made the appeal while speaking at the concluding day of a two-day Regional Policy Forum on Disasters, Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in Kathmandu on Tuesday jointly organised by Oxfam and its partners in Kathmandu, according to a message received in Dhaka, reports UNB.
They said a coordinated regional response is a must to meet the challenges of climate change, disasters and food insecurity. Any delay in implementing the Saarc agreements would fail millions of South Asians to survive through hazardous impacts of climate change.0
