The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) is ready to share its experiences in the field of climate change, relief and rescue, the IRCS head, Pir Hossein Kolivand, said on the sidelines of the 23rd session of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies General Assembly in Geneva.

Kolivand met separately with the secretary-general of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), Jagan Chapagain, and the Asia-Pacific regional director for the IFRC, Alexander Matheou.

In the meeting with Chapagain, he said that the IRCS has valuable experiences in the field of climate change and is ready to act as a consultant on climate change, given the many different actions it has taken inside Iran.

The Iranian Red Crescent Society is ready for active participation and taking over the responsibility of the Innovation Committee as well as the knowledge management of the International Federation, he added.
