Arnold Schwarzenegger Planning to Visit Pakistan
Katowice, Poland: Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday promised to visit Pakistan, according to a tweet by Prime Minister’s Adviser for Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam.
Aslam disclosed that the former governor of California had promised to travel to Pakistan and highlight the country’s extreme climate vulnerability.
Aslam is Pakistan’s representative at the 24th Conference of the Parties (COP24) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change taking place in Poland.
Delegates from nearly 200 nations on Sunday began two weeks of talks to tackle deep political divisions at the most important UN meeting on global warming since the landmark 2015 Paris deal to shift away from fossil fuels.
Expectations are low that negotiations in Katowice, at the heart of Poland’s coal region, will fully resolve concerns laid out in reports over recent weeks on the severity of rising greenhouse gas emissions.
The political climate has also been transformed since the Paris agreement and the fragile global unity that brought about that accord has shattered.
Schwarzenegger rose to fame starring in the “Terminator” movies and “Conan the Barbarian” among others.
He has also served as the governor of California from 2003 to 2o11.
