Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has called for renewing the global commitment to shared responsibility of safeguarding the earth from pollution and growing threat of climate change.

In his message on International Earth Day being observed today, he said lets protect our planet through conserving its resources, embracing sustainable ways of living and raising awareness of our collective duty in this regard.

The Prime Minister said Pakistan contributes minimally to global emissions but it ranks 5th among the nations’ most vulnerable to climate-induced disasters.

Shehbaz Sharif said National Clean Air Policy, Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations, and National Adaptation Plan are some of the government's initiatives to restore ecosystems, expand clean energy, and empower communities.
