Islamabad; Pakistan joined the international community in celebrating the \u201cWorld Environment Day 2021\u201d, as its global host, on 5 June 2021. For last four decades, the world has been observing this Day as the largest global platform for raising public awareness about the pressing environmental challenges. As one of top ten most climate vulnerable countries, Pakistan highly values the global efforts to combat climate change, halt and reverse biodiversity loss, eliminate pollution, and restore ecosystems.<\/h3>\nThe observance of World Environment Day 2021 on the theme of \u201cecosystem restoration\u201d is fully aligned with Prime Minister Imran Khan\u2019s Green Vision, as manifested in Pakistan\u2019s flagship \u201cecosystem restoration Initiative.\u201d This year\u2019s World Environment Day carried special significance because it also witnessed the formal launch of \u201cUnited Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030\u201d.<\/h3>\nThe hosting of World Environment Day 2021 in Pakistan is an acknowledgment of our country\u2019s swift transition towards a \u201cclean and green\u201d Pakistan through a well-articulated climate change and environmental agenda consisting of a number of flagship green initiatives on the ground.<\/h3>\nPakistan is already in the midst of one of the world\u2019s most ambitious efforts to expand and restore its forests, having already planted a billion trees as part of its 10 Billion Tree Tsunami Project. In its quest for a Green Future, Pakistan has already set policies in motion to make by 2030 60% of our energy mix, clean and green and shift 30% of road transport to electric vehicles.<\/h3>\nIt is high time for the international community to raise ambition and translate political commitments on combating climate change and environmental degradation into tangible actions on ground. However, for developing countries like Pakistan, this would not be possible without provision of sufficient support by developed country partners in the form of means of implementation: green finance, technology transfer, and capacity building.
\nGoing forward, we reaffirm our commitment to playing our due role in combating climate crisis, protecting biological diversity, and ecosystem restoration.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
