Climate change has disrupted the life system in Afghanistan

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Although climate change has affected human life as a global tsunami, the world has not yet paid due attention to this important issue. The United Nations has only named one day as the World Day to Combat Climate Change at the slogan stage. Ahmad Farid Farhang, spokesman for the National Environment Agency of Afghanistan, said in an interview with AVA that Afghanistan is a country that, along with other underdeveloped countries, is suffering the most from climate change, but the world has not yet paid due attention to this vital issue.

According to Farhang, in accordance with the text of the United Nations Convention, the Tokyo Protocol, and the Paris Agreement, industrialized and developed countries of the world are obliged to provide technical and financial assistance to countries affected by climate change.

He emphasized that "industrialized countries are obliged to implement climate justice and "implement" environmental rights and the historical path that has caused the emission of greenhouse gases through improper human activities and today severely threatens developing or less developed countries, and to cooperate seriously."

Farhang added: According to the Paris Agreement, countries that are in Annex II and developed and industrialized countries that are not in economic transition have two major obligations. First, they must provide climate change financial resources and facilitate climate change-adapted technologies to underdeveloped countries. Industrialized countries must also make their officials flexible to help increase the adaptive capacity of non-industrialized countries, and this is not possible unless scientific action is taken and serious technical and financial assistance is provided to vulnerable countries.

A spokesperson for the National Environment Agency recently added: "Our expectation from the international community and influential countries, regardless of political considerations, is to provide technical and financial assistance to Afghanistan in combating climate change."

This is while environmental experts also describe global climate change as dangerous for Afghanistan, which, in terms of preventive measures, technical and technological facilities, is at a very low level.

Khalil Ahmad Bayani, an environmental expert, said in an interview with AVA that one of the serious impacts of climate change in Afghanistan is the water and environmental crisis, which has worsened in recent years.

According to him, Afghanistan does not contribute much to the production of greenhouse gases in the world, but it is one of the definite victims and suffers the most damage from climate change.

He added that excessive heating and extremely cold and unpredictable weather in some parts of Afghanistan, sudden and unexpected rainfall, and devastating floods are other consequences of climate change that Afghanistan has been struggling with severely in recent years.

In his opinion, the increase in agricultural pests, cold, drought, etc. are among the consequences of climate change in Afghanistan that are hitting the country's economy and threatening life.

In response to the question of what preventive measures should be taken to prevent the damage of climate change and whether the damage can be prevented or not, he said: He said: Afghanistan cannot fight climate change alone. No matter how much we think, Afghanistan cannot do anything. Rather, it is the duty of all countries in the world to think about the collective life of humanity.

He added: Industrialized countries use more fossil fuels for economic progress, which increases greenhouse gases, which causes seasonal changes, droughts, and devastating floods in most parts of the world. Therefore, the only solution is for the world to make a serious decision to reduce greenhouse gases, which are major human factors in climate change. In that case, Afghanistan will also be saved along with other countries.

It is worth noting that with the industrialization of countries around the world, the climate of the planet is changing every day. These changes, which are often caused by human factors, have made human life more difficult, especially in countries like Afghanistan, which have no role in the changes and do not have any measures or solutions to combat them.
