From the text of the article:
“We do have a climate policy, but it does not say much. We have a climate ministry, but it does not do much. We need a serious rethink on both,” says Adil Najam, the dean of Frederick S Pardee School of Global Studies. “
“Whoever devised our Paris process lost a chance to influence a treaty, caused Pakistan massive diplomatic embarrassment, and made us irrelevant in the negotiations,” adds Adil Najam.
