About 40 national societies under the Red Cross and Red Crescent umbrella had decided to engage themselves in capacity-building programmes aimed at understanding and addressing the impact of climate change on humanity. Speaking at a function to mark the World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, at the PRCS National Headquarters here on Thursday, Saeed Ahmad Qureshi, chairman Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS), said that the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movements were engaged in addressing consequences of environmental challenges, particularly climate change. The basic principles and global agenda of these movements contained provisions for the protection of the environment. He said the theme of the day this year was "Together for Humanity' and we would use this theme to highlight the importance of Red Cross/Red Crescent partnership in addressing the humanitarian consequences of climate change. Qureshi said one of the most striking observations regarding climate change from a humanitarian perspective was that its impact would be felt hardest by communities with limited adaptive capacity will, along with those with a high degree of dependence on climate-sensitive resources and above all, the most vulnerable people
