ISLAMABAD, JUNE 5 (DNA):This occasion presents a significant opportunity to raise awareness about the urgent environmental challenges facing the world and to accelerate collective efforts to protect our planet.
As one of the countries most affected by climate change, Pakistan appreciates the ongoing global initiatives to address the triple planetary crises: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
While the world grapples with the formidable challenge of rampant plastic pollution on land, in rivers, and across our oceans, we believe that commemorating World Environment Day 2025 under the theme “Beat Plastic Pollution” is both timely and vital.
This year’s theme aligns closely with Pakistan’s national efforts to combat plastic pollution. In April 2025, the Government of Pakistan launched the ‘National Action Roadmap to Reduce Plastic Pollution,’ which outlines a comprehensive strategy to mitigate plastic waste by reducing mismanaged waste and promoting circularity.
Pakistan remains committed to playing its full part in addressing these critical environmental crises and in safeguarding our planet for future generations.
