Chairman Businessmen Group Zubair Motiwala, while speaking at a seminar on ‘Sustainable Tech: Green Entrepreneurship, Climate Tech and Eco-friendly Innovations’ organized jointly by KCCI, Sohail University and Allied Bank Limited, stressed the need to seriously focus on promoting green energy which was the most effectively way to save our planet from global warming and the subsequent climate change that have terribly affected Pakistan and many other countries around the world in the form of abnormal rainfalls and flashfloods. ‘The government must devise effectively strategies for establishing more and more effluent water treatment plants for treating the domestic as well as industrial wastewater in Karachi which would not only help in overcoming industrial needs for water but also save our coastline from further getting polluted’, he said, adding that it was a crime to throw untreated water into the sea.
He stressed that all stakeholders particularly the government will have to seriously think about our future generations by taking concrete steps for dealing with the issues emerging due to climate change otherwise the situation would continue to worsen in the days to come. ‘The business community is ready to extend full support and cooperation as it is a serious to humanity.’
