PM Khan pens letter to Bill Gates, highlights importance of 'Green Solutions'

"The impacts of changing monsoon patterns, freak weather events, melting Himalayan glaciers and sea-level rise — all compound our vulnerability," the letter reads.

He said that Pakistan was also taking steps to deal with and prevent weather hazards.

"On this front, nature is not affording us a choice. We have to invest our stretched economic resources towards establishing early warning systems, fast deployment of climate-smart agriculture as well as enhancing the efficiency of our depleting and increasingly unpredictable, freshwater resources" wrote the premier.

“Let's save the world from the dangers of climate change,” he wrote

The premier also paid tribute to Bill Gates for writing a book on the dangers of climate change and said that Pakistan was launching alternative energy projects for carbon reduction.

"This could include developing partnership towards access and deployment of the best available technologies for clean energy and electric vehicles as well as cooperating towards climate-resilient agriculture," said the prime minister.

He wrote in the letter that Billion Tree Tsunami, National Parks and Clean Green programs are underway in Pakistan and the country has innumerable green jobs.

PM Khan further inscribed that one million acres of forests have been protected and Pakistan is ready to extend full cooperation to reduce the risks of climate change.

"I believe that the world has no choice but to tread this pathway and define a new development paradigm for the 21st century through renewed international cooperation and partnership," PM Imran Khan concluded by saying.
