Islamabad: In partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Pakistan is hosting World Environment Day today.
According to details, this year's observance of World Environment Day will be on the theme of "ecosystem restoration" and focus on resetting our relation with nature.
By following the coronavirus standard operating procedures (SOPs), the day will be celebrated across the world through various events and activities.
As host of World Environment Day, Pakistan will highlight environmental issues and showcase the country's own initiatives and its role in global efforts.
Led by Prime Minister Imran Khan, Pakistan is fully committed to playing a leadership role in addressing the issue of climate change through various projects and initiatives.
The day will also mark the formal launch of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030.
The UN Decade is intended to massively scale up the restoration of degraded and destroyed ecosystem to tackle changing climate, prevent the loss of a million species and enhance food security, water supply and livelihoods.
