Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif statement on World Environment Day Today.
He said “On World Environment Day today, Pakistan joins the international community in renewing its commitment to phase out single-use plastic as part of its efforts to combat plastic pollution. The government has been actively working with national & international stakeholders to develop a legal instrument to end plastic pollution. I am glad to share that we are working on the Plastic Prohibition Regulation 2023 for Islamabad Capital Territory. The comprehensive framework under the Regulation will provide a timeline for phasing out single-use plastics. On this day, I urge all sections of society to come together for the preservation of our planet’s biodiversity & spread awareness in the communities to make recycling initiatives a success. We owe it to our future generations, as bequeathing a clean environment is our fundamental responsibility.”
