Negligence towards climate change can put future generations in danger: PM

ISLAMABAD (92 News) - Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has warned that as ice at poles is melting fast and temperatures is rising globally, any negligence towards the climate change can put the future generations in danger. In a video statement at the fourth Austrian World Summit in Vienna, the prime minister urged the world to collaborate and join hands to fight the climate change as a united goal. He said some twenty years ago, the topic of climate change was taken with skepticism but today it has become a harsh reality. He said Pakistan realized about a decade ago that the glaciers that flow into its rivers and ultimately feed the population, are melting at a much faster pace. PM Khan said his government has now set a target to plant ten billion trees for a green Pakistan.
