Al-Naddaf confirmed to SANA that the session came within a series of meetings and sessions invited by the Energy and Resources Institute of India, all of which she attended as a call for action by all countries to protect the planet and provide a framework that enables governments, partnerships and civil society to work together to build a better future for all and to develop rapid and more inclusive sustainable solutions that promote environmental, social and economic aspects of reconstruction.

She mentioned that the meeting raised solutions to a range of questions, most notably, what innovations would lead to urgent, swift and wide-ranging measures in climate change mitigation and adaptation, what perfect shifts were required from different countries at the political, social, cultural and environmental levels associated with climate change, taking into account the forthcoming global assessment process, how multi-level governance approaches involving individuals, communities, institutions, governments and markets could be strengthened, and how local solutions could be promoted.
