In Afghanistan, multiple crises are exacerbated by the deepening challenges of climate change. It is suffering its second drought in four years, along with an economic meltdown that is compounding the humanitarian situation. These near-term climate impacts, if left unaddressed, will only worsen the ongoing socioeconomic catastrophe, conflict, and violence, and also disadvantage the regional counties. So, we need to call upon UNFCCC to take Afghanistan seriously into consideration and help them shift to a better climate policy and circular economy. Regardless of our country, identity, race, and gender, we are all citizens of one planet. So, let's sustain it together.
