The Saarc ministerial meeting on climate change will be held in the city on July 3. Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed is expected to inaugurate the meeting that will be preceded by an expert level meeting on July 1 and 2. The meeting will be held in the backdrop of growing concern for adverse impact of climate change, particularly sea level rise of some countries of the region, official sources said yesterday. In view of growing concern for climate change, the 29th session of the Saarc council of ministers in New Delhi in December last year decided to hold the ministerial meeting. The meeting, the sources said, is expected to draw a plan of action to address climate change issues through regional cooperation. The expert level meeting will make an in-depth assessment of the adverse impact of climate change in the region and suggest measures to face the situation through cooperation, they added.
