UNAMA warns Afghanistan remains vulnerable at Kabul Climate Conference

Roza Otunbayeva, the head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), stated that the country remains vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. She emphasized that Afghanistan continues to face significant environmental challenges and stressed the need for international support to address these ongoing issues.

On Wednesday, January 15, the Taliban’s Ministry of Environment held a session titled “National Climate Change Conference” in Kabul to review the outcomes and implications of the 29th Global Climate Change Conference.

Roza Otunbayeva, head of UNAMA, mentioned during the session that she is seeking ways to ensure the voices of Afghans are heard at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference.

Afghanistan is one of the countries most affected by climate change. Over the past three years, the country has faced several earthquakes and devastating floods.

Environmental crises, including severe droughts, have posed serious threats to Afghanistan. Since the Taliban’s return to power, the country has been excluded from many international conferences, particularly those related to climate change.

The 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference is scheduled to take place in Brazil from November 10 to 21, 2025.

The ongoing climate-related challenges in Afghanistan underscore the urgent need for international support and cooperation. Despite the geopolitical tensions, addressing climate change remains a crucial global priority, and Afghanistan’s situation calls for continued attention.
