MONITORING REPORT ISLAMABAD: The United Nations has praised Pakistan, which is still reeling under the catastrophic effects of last year’s floods, for its voluntary efforts towards reducing the emissions responsible for climate change.
"Pakistan currently does not have any legally binding obligation under the (framework) convention or under the Kyoto Protocol. Pakistan has participated on voluntary basis," Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of UN Framework Convention on Climatic Change, told the press here last week.
"The intellectual contribution that Pakistan has had to the development of the regime has certainly gone with praise internationally," the UN official said.
