7 Oct

On 7 October, 2018, Ambassador István Szabó and the members of the Hungarian embassy – after the previous year’s participation – visited the Climate Diplomacy Day, which was organized by the EU Representation in Pakistan and WFF-Pakistan.

The documentary called „Thank you for the Rain” (2017) was screened at the event. The movie told a story about a Kenyan smallholder and his struggle against one of the most pressing problems of our day, the climate change. After the film three speeches were given by the Head of the EU Representation in Islamabad, the Representative of WFF-Pakistan and Dr. Ishrat Hussein, Adviser to the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

At the end of the event, the organizers distributed golden shower tree seeds, which will be planted by the Hungarian Embassy in order to help the Pakistani government’s afforestation plans and efforts against climate change.
