About this listen
From victim to trailblazer: Pakistan is showing how developing nations can overcome adversity and pave their own path to prosperity.
Record-high temperatures, droughts, flooding, and extreme weather... These are just some of the destructive effects of climate change that Pakistan has to face regularly. With all these stacked against them, Pakistan is fighting back. It has launched environmental programs that incentivize clean energy and is focusing on solutions that address not only its ecological concerns but also its economic ones. Pakistan is living proof that building up your economy and protecting your environment don’t have to be diametrically opposed. In The 10 Billion Tree Tsunami, you will discover:
- Pakistan is considered one of the vulnerable countries with respect to climate change - and how it’s taking action against it.
- How Pakistan is solving two of its most pressing problems with this widely praised green initiative
- How this still-developing country plans to sustain its economic growth while reducing its carbon emissions
- International recognition for Pakistan’s 10-billion-tree tsunami program, including a tweet from one unexpected supporter
- The creative solution that provides Pakistan with much-needed funds for its environmental programs without adding to its debt burden
- Groundbreaking ideas and practices from Pakistan that the rest of world should follow
- And much more.
The fact that Pakistan is taking responsibility in tackling carbon emissions, even though it’s not responsible for most of the problem, shows that they’re not willing to wait around for someone else to solve things. Other nations have much to learn from Pakistan’s initiatives – and from the perseverance of its people. Discover one country’s resilience and determination against the most difficult odds.
