ISLAMABAD– Reminding the rich countries of the world of their onus in capping the hazardous carbon emissions and contributing resources to help fight the climate change, Prime Minister Imran Khan Saturday also urged the nation to fully participate in government’s environment protection initiatives.
Addressing a ceremony of World Environment Day 2021 here at the Convention Center, hosted by Pakistan, the prime minister said the governments across the world could not implement their policies of environment protection and preservation unless fully backed by their masses.
The whole nation, especially, the young and students must participate in his government’s launched initiatives like Ten Billion Trees and Clean and Green Pakistan, he added.
Pakistan has been ranked among the few countries of the world which had been deeply worried for the future of its coming generation due to increasing global warming impacts, he observed.
The prime minister underlined the need for making strenuous and sustained efforts to preserve the planet earth for the future of the coming generations.
He regretted that in Pakistan too, in the past, no attention was paid to counter the issues like environment pollution, depletion of natural resources and deforestation.
He said that they had successfully planted one billion trees in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in the last five years.
