Message from Mr. Zahid Hamid Minister for Climate Change Government of Pakistan Ministry of Climate Change is cognizant of the fact that mass awareness on climate change and environmental issues is both crucial and instrument for sustainable development. Climate Change is one of the most important aspects of environmental governance and it is a top priority for the Ministry to raise awareness of environmental problems among all elements of society, particularly youth. In doing so, I strongly believe that the participation of youth will be of immense value. I would like to appreciate the efforts of PEDA International for organizing the ‘stories contest’ to engage youth in the climate change discourse. Ministry of Climate Change encourages collaboration with civil society organizations to address the issues of climate change and to enhance awareness of the people especially youth regarding adaptation and mitigation aspects of climate change, which have a strong impact on sustainable development.
