The WWF-Pakistan organised a workshop on Climate Change Education, Training, and Public Awareness at the Pakistan Engineering Congress office on Wednesday.
The aim of the workshop was to bring forth the implementation status of the province's climate change-related awareness policies, plans and programmes, identifying gaps and devising targeted solutions.
The interactive working group sessions with experts and participants culminated in the formulation of Punjab-specific critical pathways for the enhancement of education, training, and public awareness of climate change.
While opening the event, the Senior Director of Footprint, WWF-Pakistan, Dr. Masood Arshad, said, "The process of the Third National Communication (TNC) is very important for Pakistan as it captures all the existing on-ground challenges and provides targeted recommendations."
He further said, "WWF-Pakistan is working for the past 50 years in the area of nature conservation, and we aim to enhance levels of awareness, capacity building, and gender sensitisation on climate change under this TNC activity."
In the introductory presentation, Irfan Tariq (TNC Technical Expert) briefed the participants on the ongoing preparation for the TNC.
Ahmed Rafay Alam (Vice President (Punjab), Pakistan Environmental Law Association) gave a comprehensive overview of the current implementation efforts on education, training, and public awareness of climate change in Punjab.
