In recognition of the government’s green policies for the conservation of nature and environment, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has included Pakistan in the Champions for Nature Community.
The development was shared by Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Climate Change (SAPM) Malik Amin Aslam in an official letter of the WEF.
In the letter, the WEF recognised the government’s green initiatives and stated that champions for nature is a community of leaders who contend to protect environment, combat climate change, support global economic growth and save the world against any environmental degradation until 2030.
Appreciating the government’s initiative of 10-Billion Tree Tsunami and provision of green jobs during the outbreak of virus to cope up with unemployment, the WEF noted that these projects would be a major success for the Champions for Nature Community.
The PM’s aide observed that Pakistan’s inclusion in the champions community was a matter of great honour for the country and that it was the result of the government’s environment-friendly policies and a recognition of PM’s green vision.
“Our real champion of nature is Prime Minister Imran Khan. We are fortunate that our leader loves nature and takes keen interest in the protection of environment and a secure future for our next generation,” he said.
“It is one of the best opportunities for Pakistan to take the initiatives forward through a proper platform when the world is minutely observing our widely acclaimed projects, which include Green Stimulus, 10-Billion Tree Tsunami and Protected Areas Initiative,” he added.
In August, over a million volunteers of the prime minister's Tiger Force planted trees as part of the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami initiative, also marking “Tiger Force Day” as earlier announced by the premier.
The government also introduced the Green Stimulus project, aimed at promoting plantation, setting up nurseries and natural forests, as well as honey, fruit, and olive plantations in the country — creating jobs as well as restoring the natural ecosystem in the process.
