Awareness On Care For Our Common Home, Earth

Pakistan is facing many environmental challenges, which pose serious threats to human health and life. First, climate change is a non-traditional threat for Pakistan. Pakistan has been declared among top ten countries most affected by climate change. Climate change is negatively impacting health, agriculture, and overall economy of the country. The main reasons are carbon emission, deforestation, population explosion and lack of finances to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects. Water scarcity and clean drinking water is the talk of the town these days. Pakistan is a water scarce country. The main causes are climate change, lack of enough reservoirs to store water, water issues with India, and old irrigation system and water wastes in domestic consumption and lack of awareness. Air pollution, poor waste management and population boom are major hurdles behind the availability of clean drinking water for everyone in Pakistan. The Dominican National Commission for Justice & Peace will arrange seminars, awareness sessions and workshops with 400 youth of different Dominican parishes in Pakistan. we will plant (1000) trees in different parishes and promote cloth bags and discourage the use of polythene bags.
