Critics lament exclusion of Afghanistan from COP27

Afghanistan was excluded from the COP27 climate summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Climate activist Abdulhadi Achakzai was the only representative of his country at the event. The South Asian nation has remained diplomatically isolated since the Taliban's fall last year. Afghanistan has seen a temperature rise of 1.8°C between 1950 and 2010 – twice the global average.
