Climate change has emerged as the most drastic challenge faced by every country and community across the world. The hazards of climate change are fast-paced and multi-faceted, and Pakistan is one of the countries in the region that is most harshly impacted by the hazards of climate change over the past few years, causing grave damages to the communities across Pakistan’s urban and rural centers. Indeed, tree plantation is one of the easiest and prompt solutions to curb the challenges posed by climate change.
PTI during the 2013-18 period had undertaken an ambitious agenda of planting 1 billion trees, known as the “Billion Tree Tsunami” to overcome the challenges of climate change and rapid deforestation in the KP province.
