According to her, these countries have an enormous stake in discussions about the climate crisis, but they are too often excluded.
Currently, Climate change has become one of the greatest risks to all living organisms including man kind and resource-deficient states are the biggest victims of natural disasters. Various countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are facing the disastrous affects of global warming, while the UN agencies and International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs) continuously sensitizing the world about the risks of the worsening calamity however sane words are not convincing powerful nations to contribute this global endeavor wholeheartedly.
