Karachi: American news magazine, TIME has named Climate Change Minister Senator Sherry Rehman among ‘100 Most Influential People of 2023’. List unveiled day earlier includes names of most influential people from across world who fall under six categories artists, icons, pioneers, leaders, titans and innovators. Rehman’s profile for magazine has been written by Germany’s state secretary and special envoy for international climate action Jennifer Morgan. Activist, specialising in climate change policy, lavished praise on minister for her efforts during cataclysmic floods that hit Pakistan in June last year.

Author recalled that there are many terrible sides to climate crisis, but one of most distressing is that it is hitting hardest those countries that are least responsible for it. She mentioned that Pakistan is responsible for only fraction of global emissions, but climate crisis led to more than third of country being flooded last year.

Morgan wrote, “Through impassioned speeches and tireless engagement in negotiations, she convinced many of delegates that blatant injustice must come to an end. American German activist highlighted that this was big step toward climate justice, “But we still have long way to go.” “We will need more people like Sherry Rehman along way,” Morgan concluded.
