Pakistan mopped up the global applause and appreciation for launching the National Ecosystem Restoration Fund (ESRF) on the sidelines of the 25th session of the two-week long UN-led climate talks underway in Madrid, Spain’s capital.
The climate change spokesperson Mohammad Saleem informed media that the landmark Ecosystem Restoration Fund was launched by Malik Amin Aslam, prime minister’s advisor on climate change at a ceremony attended by the global leaders and members of the civil society organizations, which are attending the UN-led climate talks pondering over mechanisms to address climate change.
Mohammad Saleem said that this new initiative builds on the successful efforts at overcoming the excessive degradation of forests.—INP
