The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is urging international organizations to cooperate with Afghanistan in addressing climate change without political considerations, as the country continues to face increasing environmental challenges.

Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, said the government has developed broad and practical plans aimed at reducing the impacts of climate change, particularly floods and droughts, which have repeatedly affected large parts of the country.

Afghanistan is among the world’s most climate-vulnerable nations, facing severe droughts, sudden floods, glacier melt, and shifting rainfall patterns that are increasingly disrupting livelihoods and agriculture.

Experts say the country’s heavy dependence on agriculture—combined with weak infrastructure, widespread poverty, and decades of conflict—has significantly increased its vulnerability to climate-related disasters.

According to analysts, climate change in Afghanistan is already contributing to population displacement, rising food insecurity, and a deepening humanitarian crisis. They emphasize the need to integrate climate resilience into national development planning, including agriculture, water management, energy, and urban development sectors.

Other specialists argue that preventive measures must be implemented before disasters such as droughts, floods, and extreme heat events occur, in order to reduce both human and financial losses linked to emergency response and recovery.

Officials also note that the impacts of climate change are felt nationwide, but regions such as the north, northwest, west, southwest, and central highlands are particularly at risk.

The Islamic Emirate maintains that stronger international engagement is essential to help Afghanistan build resilience against climate-related challenges and protect vulnerable communities across the country.

The spokesman for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) says Kabul is committed to maintaining balanced and constructive relations with all neighboring countries and has actively pursued this policy since returning to power.

Zabihullah Mujahid said the Islamic Emirate’s relations with most countries in the region remain positive, noting that Afghanistan currently enjoys strong ties with Uzbekistan, Iran, China and Turkmenistan.

He added that relations with Tajikistan are also relatively positive and that efforts are underway to further strengthen bilateral cooperation.

Speaking about Pakistan, Mujahid said relations between Kabul and Islamabad were initially positive following the Islamic Emirate’s return to power, but tensions later emerged due to what he described as “Pakistan’s actions and violations.”

He stressed that the Islamic Emirate was not responsible for initiating the tensions and reiterated Kabul’s desire to maintain good relations with all neighboring countries, particularly Pakistan.

According to Mujahid, diplomatic efforts are continuing to reduce tensions and improve bilateral relations between the two sides.

Meanwhile, political analysts say that although the Islamic Emirate has yet to receive broad formal international recognition, regional cooperation with Afghanistan in trade, transit and economic sectors continues to expand steadily.

Nearly five years after the Islamic Emirate returned to power, Russia remains the only country to have officially recognized the government. Kabul, however, maintains that it has fulfilled the conditions necessary for international recognition, while the international community continues to emphasize issues related to counterterrorism and human rights.
