A WOMAN FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE: SHERRY

Climate Change Minister Sherry Rehman has recently emerged as a vocal advocate for climate justice.

At the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP27) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, she was seen as a vocal supporter of Pakistan.

She effectively defended her position, urging other nations to reevaluate their lifestyles and highlighting Pakistan's precarious position and inability to tolerate this dystopia.

Goals for Climate Change Mitigation, Adaptation, Finance, and Collaboration dominated the conference's numerous discussions.

The creation of a "loss and damage" fund is one of the conference's most significant outcomes.

During the conference's two weeks, nearly 200 nations engaged in arduous negotiations to reach this conclusion.

The fund will provide assistance to developing nations impacted by the climate change crisis.

The agreement to establish the fund has been reached, but the procedures and mechanism have not yet been finalized.

It's still hard to fight for climate justice, especially when carbon emissions from developed nations hurt the developing world.

Sherry Rehman led the Ministries of Health, Women's Development, and Culture in addition to having a formidable career as a "Senator, civil society activist, diplomat, and a seasoned journalist" prior to her appointment as Pakistan's Climate Change Minister.

Pakistan, as G77 president, has urged the establishment of the "loss and damage" fund based on its own experience with the devastation caused by the flood.

Svenja Schultz, the German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, commended Pakistan's efforts.

Additionally, Pakistan was identified as a "pathfinder" for the Global Shield Against Climate Action. The Financial Times (FT) also named Minister Sherry Rehman one of the "25 most influential women in the world."

It would appear that world leaders are applauding her enthusiasm for social activism; being called a "gritful negotiator" in the Financial Times.

She has made her mark as a woman in this world through her tenacity and bravery in handling situations.

wittily stated, "If women were leading the world, we would have less stress from the climate and I'm quite sure, we would find solutions faster than we just talk about it."
