ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Sunday that the Success of the billion tree tsunami gave the government confidence to take the 10 billion trees initiative. The PM in a tweet said: “From nurseries to full forest areas, the Success of Billion tree tsunami has been unprecedented with public & pvt involvement. Has given us confidence to take the initiative to 10 bn trees. KP's forest cover has increased by 4%, contributing to the fight against climate change.” Under PM Imran, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which came to power this year, pledged to plant billions of trees to tackle the effects of climate change. In 2013, PTI-led KP government introduced a green-growth initiative to tackle deforestation, build more small-scale hydroelectric projects and overhaul national parks.
