ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Senator Sherry Rehman ne Antalya mein jari COP31 climate summit par zor diya hai ke woh elanaat se aage barh kar climate finance ka ek qabil-e-aitmad, qabil-e-rasai aur munsifana nizam faraham kare. Unhon ne khabardar kiya ke Pakistan aur deegar kamzor mumalik ko aafat, qarz aur ruki hui taraqqi ke ek chakkar mein dhakela ja raha hai.
Jumme ko jari ek bayan mein Pakistan Peoples Party ki naib sadr aur sabiq Wafaqi Wazir-e-Mausamiyati Tabdeeli ne conference ki mezbani par Turkiye ka shukriya ada kiya aur kaha ke us ki sadarat taraqqi yafta aur taraqqi pazeer mumalik ke darmiyan khaleej kam karne aur multilateral climate iqdamat par aitmad bahal karne ka ek mauqa hai.
“Humein umeed hai ke Antalya conference ko sirf naye waadon ke liye nahin, balke is liye yaad rakha jaye ga ke us ne climate yakjehti ko thos maali waadon aur kamzor mumalik ke liye bamaani nataij mein badla,” unhon ne kaha.
Sherry Rehman ne Aqwam-e-Muttahida ke Secretary General Antonio Guterres ke summit mein diye gaye is intibah ka hawala diya ke “fossil fuels ko dinosaurs ki raah jana hoga”, aur kaha ke duniya ab climate waadon aur fossil fuel ki musalsal sarparasti ke darmiyan is tazad ki mutahammil nahin ho sakti.
“Hukoomatein unhi sanaton ko subsidy deti nahin reh saktin jo climate bohran ko hawa de rahi hain, aur jab kamzor mumalik climate finance mangen to wasail ki kami ka uzr pesh karen,” unhon ne kaha. Un ke mutabiq duniya bhar mein fossil fuel par di jane wali subsidy ka takhmeena taqreeban 7 trillion dollar hai. “Sawal yeh nahin ke duniya ke paas wasail hain ya nahin, balke yeh hai ke kya us mein unhein durust simt mein modne ki siyasi quwwat-e-iradi maujood hai.”
Unhon ne kaha ke 1.5 degree centigrade ka hadaf mazeed pohanch se door hota ja raha hai. Climate Action Tracker ke taaza takhmeene ke mutabiq maujooda policies ke tehat sadi ke aakhir tak duniya ka darja-e-hararat taqreeban 2.7 degree centigrade barh jaye ga, jabke us ka pichhla takhmeena 2.6 degree tha. Yehi adad summit ke ibtidai dinon par chhaya raha.
“2.7 degree centigrade ki raah Pakistan jaise mumalik ke liye tabah kun sabit hogi, jahan mausamiyati shiddat pehle hi rozgar, ghizai tahaffuz, pani ki dastyabi aur maashi istehkam ko kamzor kar rahi hai,” Sherry Rehman ne kaha. “Be-amali ki qeemat zaya hone wali jaanon, be-ghar hone wali aabadiyon aur dahaiyon peechhe chali jane wali taraqqi ki soorat mein chukani paray gi.”
Unhon ne yaad dilaya ke 2022 ke sailab se Pakistan mein 3 crore 30 lakh afrad mutasir hue aur taqreeban 30 arab dollar ka nuqsan hua, jabke sirf guzishta saal ke sailab se zaraat ko hone wale nuqsan ka takhmeena ek arab dollar lagaya gaya hai.
“Yeh ikka dukka aafat nahin hain. Yeh Pakistan ki maeeshat, ghizai tahaffuz, bunyadi dhanche aur taraqqi ke imkanaat par baar baar hone wala hamla hain,” unhon ne kaha. “Pakistan khairat nahin mang raha. Hum mausamiyati insaf, maali jawabdehi aur ek munsifana bainul aqwami nizam ka mutalba kar rahe hain.”
Un ka yeh mutalba aise waqt samne aaya jab Aqwam-e-Muttahida ke Taraqqiyati Programme ke sarbarah Alexander De Croo ne Jumme ko Antalya mein khabardar kiya ke kamzor maeeshaton ko maujooda El Nino ke asraat se bachane par abhi 36 arab dollar lagat aaye gi, jabke takheer ki soorat mein yeh lagat 73 arab dollar tak pohanch jaye gi. “Amal na karna sab se mehngi climate policy hai,” unhon ne kaha aur IMF aur ameer mumalik par madad ke liye zor diya.
Wazir-e-Azam Shehbaz Sharif ne is hafte COP31 ke rehnumaon se khitab mein kaha tha ke mausamiyati aafat se sab se zyada mutasir mumalik ko grant par mabni aisi maali muawanat darkar hai jo un ke qarzon mein izafa na kare, jabke muzakarat kaar ab khwahishat ki ek aisi fehrist par ghaur kar rahe hain jis ne fossil fuel se muntaqili ko dobara agenda par la khara kiya hai.
