Sherry Rehman addressed evocatively the devastating floods in Pakistan at COP27 last month, bringing attention to the unfairness at the heart of climate change. She informed us that the agreement reached between the global north and the global south was ineffective. Her persuasive argument compelled industrialised nations to pay attention.
She played a crucial role in the advancement of loss and damage at COP27 with her negotiation abilities, pragmatism in overcoming obstacles erected by wealthy nations, and advocacy voice. Her moral standing as a voice for communities experiencing the effects of climate change resulted in the historic agreement to create a fund, which has given many people in the global south fresh hope. Sherry will undoubtedly continue to fight for climate justice, global financial reform, and the finances necessary to provide a future for the areas of Pakistan that will be affected by this year’s floods for a very long time.
