He said the most significant thing in this COP was that the youth protesting around the globe for climate action was brought on to the table for dialogue.
The youth comprising larger chunk of population in many countries particularly Pakistan where 65 percent of the total population was below the age of 40-year were moving us to focus more on climate change mitigation, the Adviser said.

He said before the COP25 three bad happenings occurred as the US pulled out of Paris climate agreement, Brazil government put Amazon forest at fire and the climate talks shifted from Chile to Spain due to social unrest that lead to the failure agenda completion by the member states partaking in COP-35 in Madrid. Therefore, the agenda for this conference was forwarded to the next year.
