SWAT: Malakand Commissioner Amjad Ali Khan has said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is taking emergency measures to address the challenge of climate change and mitigate its devastating effects. He was addressing the concluding session of three-day ‘Eco Media Workshop’. The workshop was organised for journalists from across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to enhance their understanding and reporting on environmental issues. Speaking at the event, the commissioner said that Pakistan, like the rest of the world, was bearing the brunt of climate change. “Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is taking emergency measures to address this challenge and mitigate its devastating effects,” he added. He talked about the environmental-friendly steps being taken by the government such as successful implementation of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in Peshawar. He said that the project benefited millions of commuters. The commissioner said that the government was planning to introduce electric public transport vehicles in Swat, Kohat, Dera Ismail Khan and other districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. “Electric vehicles will not only reduce carbon emissions but will also provide a cost-effective travel option to people,” he added. He drew the attention of the participants of the workshop towards the damage caused by recent floods in Swat, Dir and Chitral. He said that the floods were a result of climate change. He warned of graver risks if immediate action was not taken to protect the environment. “The loss of life and property during the last two floods was a wake-up call. If we do not act now to clean and preserve our environment, the future consequences could be catastrophic,” he cautioned. Earlier, Shams Momand, the organiser of the workshop, welcomed the commissioner and other participants, acknowledging the importance of such initiatives. “Journalists play a crucial role in shaping public opinion and policy. Their understanding of climate issues can create awareness and trigger action at all levels,” he added. During the workshop, renowned journalists delivered insightful lectures on reporting of climate change and its impacts. The event concluded with Commissioner Amjad Ali Khan distributing certificates among the participants, emphasising the role of media in combating environmental challenges.
