Pakistan is hosting World Environment Day in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme tomorrow.

This year's observance of World Environment Day will be on the theme of "ecosystem restoration" and focus on resetting our relation with nature.        

The day will be celebrated across the world through various events and activities, in line with latest Covid-19 regulations.

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 fight the climate crisis, prevent the loss of a million species and enhance food security, water supply and livelihoods.

Major corporations, non-governmental organizations, communities, governments and celebrities from across the world adopt the World Environment Day to champion environmental causes.

Held annually since 1974, the day has also become a vital platform for promoting progress on the environmental dimensions of the Sustainable Development Goals.
