The Taliban government has entered its first talks with the United Nations, donors and non-governmental organizations over the impact of climate change in Afghanistan, organizers said Wednesday.

After four decades of war, Afghanistan ranks as one of the countries least prepared to face the effects of climate change, which is spurring extreme weather and warping natural environments.

The Norwegian Afghanistan Committee (NAC) co-hosted three days of talks ending Tuesday, country director Terje Watterdal told reporters at a news conference in Kabul.

He said it was the first time Taliban officials “joined a parallel session, face-to-face and online, with a broad range of their counterparts in the West since the change of government in August 2021.”

The talks included universities, diplomats, UN agencies, donors and grassroots members of Afghan society.

All sides agreed that “both individual and collective action is required both inside and outside of Afghanistan,” Watterdal said.

“All government ministries committed their full support for the national and international organizations working to combat climate change and reduce the impact of climate change in Afghanistan.”

"Foreign aid to Afghanistan has dwindled since the Taliban takeover in 2021, with donors wary of backing a government considered a pariah, leaving poor and climate-vulnerable communities further exposed."

We better start sending them trees to help out their climate problem.

Several boatloads of Bradford Pairs should do it…

Having the Taliban present at a climate change conference seems rather odd to me.

Let's not overlook for a moment that their religion is based on the mantra 'God wills' - implicit in this is that mere Man could not possibly argue with the will of Allah and his treatment of the weather.

After spending much effort in the destruction of their own country, let alone its irreplaceable historic monuments and social institutions, they are probably the least likely to offer any mind of meaningful solution. When was the last time that a member of the Taliban won a Nobel prize?

Sounds like the Taliban has figured out how wealth transfer works.

An opportunity to dip into a funding pool, controlled by irrational givers (of other people's money).

What's not to like from their viewpoint.

Yep, first sentence in the OP gave the game away.

Taliban agrees to cut their fossil fuel use in half by only burning gays and educated women on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

About like Pamela Anderson having an eighteen inch cock.

I've got one in my front yard that I'd gladly give to them.

Wonder if they will be taking up bobsledding too?

Step 1, stop burning camel shit for cooking food.
Step 2, replace all Toyota Hilux gun trucks with EVs.
Step 3, stop burning heretics.

See, it can be done.

how much are the Taliban willing to toss in for their carbon credits?

I guess they should be concerned. Where they're going is going to be pretty hot.


Pretty sure Hell already uses renewables though.

Just more senseless drivel. It’s hardly worth mention in a real conversation .

How many solar panels does it take to make the average car bombing carbon neutral?

Give John Kerry a one-way ticket there and let him live with the Taliban.
