In this article in an online magazine by Ruchi Kumar, AAN research by guest author Assem Mayar is quoted and linked:

“The consequences of higher temperatures are serious,” wrote Assem Mayar, a water resource management expert and former lecturer at Kabul Polytechnic University in a 2022 post published by Afghanistan Analysts Network, a nonprofit policy research organization.

The earth only has one atmosphere and global warming harm transcends political boundaries.”
