On the occasion of World Environment Day 2023, Federal Minister for Climate Change & Environmental Coordination, Senator Sherry Rehman on Sunday said that the consequences of plastic pollution are intense and long term, as it irreversibly damages our environment and threatens the very fabric of life on earth, from the highest mountains to the deepest ocean trenches.
Under this year’s theme ‘Solutions to Plastic Pollution’, centered around addressing the grave concern of plastic under the campaign #BeatPlasticPollution, Minister Rehman urged a call for action as plastic production is set to triple by 2060 if ‘business-as-usual’ continues, according to a statement issued here. The Minister shared the 7R’s Action Agenda which marks the country’s commitment to combat plastic pollution.—APP
