During the policy dialogue titled “Post COP Dialogue: Operationalization of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement – The Road from Baku to Belem,” organized by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) in collaboration with the Embassy of Denmark, Ambassador Linulf said the efforts to reduce climate change impacts and global warming would only succeed if Pakistan secured a conducive environment for climate action.
