Pakistan has called for a multilateral approach approach to achieve the goal of a 'zero-waste' world, as the UN chief warned that "toxin-filled waste is seeping into our soil, our water, and our air."
Pakistani and global perspectives on the key subject figured at a meeting held in UN General Assembly hall at the UN headquarters in New York to mark International Day of Zero Waste.
Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, permanent representative-designate of Pakistan to the UN, emphasized the need for sustainable waste management practices to address the mounting waste crisis.
