Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif formally launched the new Pakistan energy vehicle policy for 2025-2030, aimed at promoting ecological and profitable transport in the country, Radio Pakistan reported.
When heading to the launch event, Sharif highlighted the policy approach in reducing carbon emissions, saving billions of currency rupees, promoting innovation and training young people to take Pakistan to a greener future.
“Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries in terms of climate change, despite contributing little to the phenomenon,” he said, pointing out the growing frequency and intensity of climate -induced disasters, such as sudden floods, cloud bubbles and floods about the glacial lake plow. “With every year that passes, these disasters cause more loss of lives and properties,” he added.
Sharif requested global support, urging developed nations, particularly in the West, to contribute to relieve the miseries caused by climate change and help vulnerable countries to build resistant infrastructure.
