At the Aga Khan University, Pakistan
December 2022
First and foremost, I want to applaud everyone who participated in the President’s challenge for climate solutions.
Climate change is a subject that we hear about constantly. It is on the front page of newspapers. It is the subject of films, television shows and books. It is discussed by world leaders at high-profile events and by millions of people on social media. Yet the volume of attention still exceeds the appetite for action.
