Sir: Speakers at a seminar held in Islamabad on February 25, 2017 have called for taking effective measures to mitigate the hazardous effects of global warming and to create environment-friendly Pakistan. They also urged the people to change their life-style that help to make environment clean and safe for ensuring a better future for the coming generations. The seminar was aimed at capacity-building of the engineering community to understand the effects of climate change, especially on construction industry and the common man in Pakistan. The speakers warned that the climate change was going to affect every person in the country, particularly the poor segment of the society. The nation must, therefore, prepare itself to reduce its negative impact to ensure a safer future. It merits a mention that climate change is an emerging threat to the country. Around two hundreds glaciers have started melting and how to protect the people from its dangerous effects is a big challenge today. In view of the above, there is a strong need to prepare the nation for taking timely preventive measures to face the risk of global warming. Also, a clean energy solution is needed by taking steps to reduce carbon emissions. Preventing emission of greenhouse gases is also imperative, besides properly using new technologies and renewable energies. In a bid to mitigate the ill effects of global warming and to ensure clean environment for the population of the country, the Climate Change Ministry has evolved a multi-dimensional strategy to implement Green Pakistan Programme aiming at increasing tree cover in the country. The strategy would focus on tree plantation along road and canal sides, rehabilitation and re-stocking of historical plantations. KHAN FARAZ Peshawar
