“In related developments, Abim hopes that 2022 will be a better time for all citizens of the world to jointly handle this issue of climate justice in a better manner,” its president Muhammad Faisal Abdul Aziz said today.
“Abim takes the issue of climate change with serious concern. ABIM stresses that the major disasters occurring in recent times including those currently faced by our country are the impacts of climate change happening around the world.
“We must be aware that the phenomena triggering this climatic turmoil is the result of our greed which has carelessly sacrificed environmental balance. Among the clear consequences of climate change are unexpected rainfall, as well as global warming that is impacting our lives.”
