The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has received a formal request from Pakistan to open an office there. Its goal is to help the government deal with the growing issues brought on by climate change.

The United Nations Environment Program will support efforts to address important environmental issues like the Living Indus Program through its six regional offices in West Asia, Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific, Africa, and North America.

Inger Andersen, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UNEP, will discuss environmental issues with the Minister for Climate Change and Sindh Chief Minister (CM) during her visit to Pakistan. The UNEP may look at emerging trends in sustainable energy and the environment in Pakistan as well as work to raise people’s standards of living.

An official claimed that in response to Pakistan’s requests for support in rebuilding flood-damaged areas and safeguarding them from the negative effects of climate change, the international community and the UN are responding favorably. The visit of the UNEP Executive Director is likely to be very helpful in resolving many issues related to environmental safety and preservation.
