Government of PakistanMinistries asked to organized Tree Plantation Ceremony at their premises

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: In alignment with the government’s unwavering commitment to combat climate change and promote environmental sustainability, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination under its flagship initiative “Upscaling of Green Pakistan Programme (UGPP),” requested all the Ministries to organized a Tree Plantation Ceremony at their Ministries premises.

In this regards, the tree plantation event was graced by the Federal Minister for Planning, Development & Special Initiatives Ahsan Iqbal alongside the Secretary Planning Awais Manzur Sumra, Additional Secretary, and other ministry staff.

As part of the initiative, trees were planted within the ministry’s grounds, symbolizing the government’s proactive efforts in addressing climate challenges.

During the ceremony, Ahsan Iqbal emphasized the urgency of tackling environmental challenges, stating, “Tree planting is one of the most effective weapons in our fight against climate change. It has been advocated by many religions as well, including the teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), who said that whoever plants a tree will be performing an act of charity.”

The minister further added, “Our goal is to make Pakistan greener and to ensure a sustainable and healthy environment for future generations. By planting more trees, we are not only improving Pakistan’s environment but also positioning our nation to be among the leading environmentally conscious countries in the world.”

The UGPP aims to enhance forest cover and promote reforestation across Pakistan, contributing to a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future.
