Makhlouf during his participation in the Climate Week of Dubai: Syria has the right to access climate and environmental funds

Environment
During his participation in the ministerial meetings held within the Climate Week for the Middle East and North Africa in the United Arab Emirates, the Minister of Local Administration and Environment, Eng. Hussein Makhlouf, presented the measures and executive steps taken by the Syrian state to adapt to the effects of climate change, especially drought and water scarcity.
Makhlouf, during a ministerial discussion session held today on enhancing adaptation to the effects of climate change, affirmed that Syria is continuing its measures to mitigate the effects of climate change and keep pace with the joint global efforts to confront it despite the difficulties resulting from the unilateral coercive measures imposed by some Western countries on it that affect the lives of citizens. In this respect, Makhlouf explained that climate change is a cross-border issue, and Syria has the right to access climate and environmental finance funds, as it fulfills its obligations towards international agreements.
 
Makhlouf referred to the dams and irrigation canals that were built and expanded in Syria with the aim of saving water and achieving self-sufficiency in wheat and the measures taken to integrate the environmental dimension into development plans despite the negative effects of the terrorist war on Syria, which led to the deterioration of the environmental situation as a result of the deliberate burning of forests by terrorists, and the random, primitive refining of stolen Syrian oil, in addition to the low water level in the Euphrates River as a result of its reduction from Turkey, which increased the severity of drought and water scarcity.
 
Makhlouf also participated in a ministerial round-table dialogue session on the future aspirations of the countries of the region in order to achieve the “Glasgow Charter” and urgent issues that need urgent interventions according to the priorities of countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
 
The World Energy Forum in the UAE, which kicked off yesterday in Dubai with the participation of Syria, focused on the measures taken by governments and the plans and strategies necessary to confront and adapt to the effects of climate change.
