Pulbished on:
New York, 25 April 2016(Lana) Libya has signed the Paris Protocol
on Climate Change along with 174 other countries at a ceremony held
at the UN headquarters here.
Libya's UN representative Ibrahim Al Dabashi said at the signing
ceremony 'climate change is a big challenge facing all humanity, and
the agreement is an important step to confront it, but it needs a
collective will to turn it from mere written text to concrete deeds.'
Al Dabashi pointed out that 95 per cent of Libya's territory was
desert, and the rest is threatened with desertification. He welcomed
the Paris Protocol saying Libya would honour its provisions, and
would seek to ratify it as soon as possible.
