Development Communications Network (Devcom-Pakistan) and partners have scheduled a conference titled "Beyond the Plastic Waste" on June 3 under its annual flagship event "Pakistan Environmental Awards and Conference of Best Practices".
The event marks World Environment Day more meaningfully with a thematic conference and appreciation awards for the good work.
The conference will include the high-level inaugural panel on "Plastic Waste: From Pollution to Solution". The other two sessions will focus on "Single-use Plastics: Sustainable Consumption, Production and Alternatives", and "The Waste Business: 3Rs and Integrated Resource Recycling (IRR)".
The Second Pakistan Environmental Awards will also be conferred upon some of the best practices promoted under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporate Environmental Compliance (CEC), and environmental conservation projects by the nongovernmental sector. Some individuals and media persons will also be awarded for their good work.
Devcom-Pakistan Executive Director Munir Ahmed said: "By beating the plastic pollution, together we can create a healthier future for the planet earth. This year's World Environment Day theme reminds us of our collective responsibility. This year's World Environment Day comes exactly two months before countries meet again to continue negotiating a global treaty to end plastic pollution.
Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and held annually since 1973, it has grown to be the largest global platform for environmental outreach. It is celebrated by millions of people across the world. The Republic of Korea will host World Environment Day 2025 with a focus on ending plastic pollution globally.
