News around the Muslim World on Sunday 21 September 2014

Pakistan is a signing ceremony away from becoming the associate member of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN).

The associate membership to the world’s top most particle physics will open the doors to science experiments and enable the country to participate in bids for contracts.

In a statement on Friday, the National Centre for Physics (NCP) said the CERN council at its meeting on September 18 had unanimously approved the application of Pakistan for the associate membership.

One step away from excellence in particle Physics for Pakistan

The efforts of these young Indians and Pakistanis led to meetings in Lahore, Delhi and Davos, starting a conversation around the climate risk faced by both countries and challenging politicians to unite around the shared necessity of climate action.

Action is now needed more than ever. Climate change is both a challenge as well as an opportunity for these two nuclear nations. It is a risk that can no longer be ignored, and has to be managed.

Indo-Pak water management crises.
