Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has stressed the need for coordinated efforts at the global level to address the challenges posed by climate change.
Speaking after inaugurating two new cyclone shelters at Muttathara in Thiruvananthapuram and Kumarapuram in Alappuzha at a function held here on Tuesday, he said it was important to join hands in disaster mitigation.
“However, none of the global summits have addressed the need for such a unified approach to the crisis posed by climate change to countries across the world. The interventions by many developed nations serve to protect only their interests,” he said.
