Closing keynote for Islamabad Literature Festival tonight to a packed hall, themed around People, Planet and Possibilities: “Pick your fights. But don’t lose the moment. The clock is ticking on climate action and we need to change our habits, our consumption very fast. Stop wasting water, stop throwing away food, and stop using bad plastic. The earth’s resources are not infinite”

Pakistan, with its vast landscapes and rich history, is sadly at the epicenter of the climate crisis. The evidence is clear and cannot be ignored. The glaciers in the North are receding at alarming rates, and the south’s once fertile lands are slowly giving way to desertification – Chairman PPP @BBhuttoZardari at the conference on “Human Rights and Climate Justice in Pakistan”

[Samana Malaika Raza @MalaikaSRaza]

Air pollution is no Instagram filter you can swipe away. In fact,for a country with low emissions on a global scale,our air quality is cause for action at scale. Conservative estimates suggest that 128,000 people die in Pakistan from air pollution annually https://t.co/9RlWXwNBpi

[SenatorSherryRehman @sherryrehman]

On International Day of #CleanAirforBlue Skies, let's remember clean air is not a luxury; it's a basic human right and an essential prerequisite for a healthy and sustainable future. Experts and global organizations have cautioned that pollution & climate crises present the most significant risk to individuals with respiratory illnesses. Pakistan is on the front lines of this challenge. Each year, an average of 128,000 lives are lost due to air pollution in our country. According to the @WorldBank , the economic toll of air pollution on Pakistan has reached a staggering 47.8 billion dollars. Our National Clean Air Policy 2023 provides Pakistan with a roadmap to achieve clean and stable air quality. However, the successful implementation of this policy depends on action by the provinces. Attaining clean air necessitates a comprehensive, multi-level approach. This includes reducing vehicular, industrial emissions, pollutants from agri and municipal waste, no burning of crop residue and switching to clean and sustainable energy sources for domestic cooking, more public transportation & electric vehicles, enhancing green spaces, fostering public awareness, and more.
