OIC body, HEC arrange science workshop

Speaking on the theme of another workshop arranged simultaneously on “Climate Change: Adaptation Challenges in OIC Courtiers�, Dr Atta-ur-Rahman said, “Climate change is huge looming disaster. We need to realise the potential threats this may bring along.
The threat is real and is already happening across our urban centres, coastlines, deltas and valleys, from Morocco and Egypt to Nigeria and Sudan to Pakistan and Indonesia.This challenge confronting the contemporary world calls for immediate reflection and action.
If global carbon levels continue to increase, the earth’s climate will become unmanageable and intolerable, with frequent natural disasters, loss of lives and livelihoods, and conflicts over depleting resources that might erupt out of controlâ€�.  
Dr Anwar Nasim, COMSTECH Advisor Science gave a detailed introduction on the climate change workshop and said it will contribute towards proper planning to tackle the issue across OIC region.
The workshops will continue for two weeks and policy-makers, from Indonesia, Algeria, Oman, Yemen, Morocco, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Pakistan were present during the inaugural ceremony.
