The special Leopard Preservation Zone will provide healthy eco-system to the predators, permanently inhabiting the hills.

The prime minister in principle accorded approval for the National Climate Change Policy, 2021 and the National Wildlife Policy, 2021.

He also directed to form a think-tank to coordinate efforts among various ministries and to devise out-of-the-box solutions for climate change mitigation.

He mentioned that international community was acknowledging Pakistan’s realistic and tangible steps to mitigate impacts of climate change.

Imran Khan directed the Ministry of Climate Change to review targets and formulate new goals aiming at fast-tracking the steps required to preserve natural environment.

He said preservation of the country’s national parks was paramount and stressed the need for inducting trained manpower and utilizing modern technology.

He appreciated the efforts of Special Assistant to PM on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam for environmental protection and highlighting Pakistan’s efforts in this field.

Earlier, Amin Aslam briefed the meeting in detail about Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Climate Change Policy, National Wildlife Policy and Green Climate Diplomacy.
