A presentation for climate change will take place on Thursday in the presence of President of the Republic of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades.
A press release issued on Saturday by the director of the President’s Press office, Andreas Iosif said the President will emphasise that further to the need for cooperation on a regional level, Cyprus is promoting measures on a national level to further the aims of the Paris accord and the goals set by the EU.
According to Iosif, in 2019, Cyprus undertook the initiative to develop a regional action plan to manage climate change and its repercussions in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, in fields such as the environment, agriculture, tourism, health, cultural heritage and water.
President Ansatasiades had described the initiative as the most aspiring and urgent in proving the constructive role which Cyprus wants to play in protecting the environment and to manage climate change in eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.
The Cyprus initiative is in full swing and is expected to culminate at the COP27 meeting of the UN on Climate change that will take place in Sharm el-Sheikh in November.
