The initiative to revive the forest deserves unqualified appreciation as forest and trees are the best weapon to mitigate the impact of climate change. Climate change is the biggest challenge facing humanity in the modern era. Pakistan is the fifth country in the world to have created a separate Ministry of Climate Change and also carried out legislation for the establishment of a Climate Change Council and a Climate Change Authority. It has formulated new Forest and Wildlife Policies besides setting up a Global Change Impact Study Centre, the research arm of the Ministry. The remedy to mitigate the impact of climate change undoubtedly lies in planting more and more trees.
