He expressed these views at a reception hosted in honor of the delegation of Asian Forum of Parliamentarians on Population and Development in Islamabad today.

The Chairman Senate said impacts of rising temperatures, erratic weather patterns and natural disasters disproportionately affect women and marginalized communities.

He said it is imperative that response to these challenges is inclusive, equitable and transformative.
