KARACHI:
Adviser to the Sindh Chief Minister on Law, Environment and Coastal Development Murtaza Wahab called for collective action to control air pollution on Thursday and attributed failed environmental campaigns of the past to citizens and industrialists not taking responsibility on that front and influential persons and mafia hampering climate action.
Addressing a seminar on the Air Quality Management of Karachi , organised by the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), Wahab proposed a two-pronged approach to control air pollution.
Pakistan should tap further into its vast potential of producing electricity through solar energy as the country is blessed with sunshine for almost 300 days in a year, said Adviser to the Sindh Chief Minister on Law, Environment, Climate Change and Coastal Development Murtaza Wahab, after he inaugurated the University of Karachi's (KU's) 30 kilowatt solar power project.
