flag Pakistan demands urgent air quality plan amid outdated emissions rules and rising climate risks.

flag Pakistan’s National Assembly committee has demanded a comprehensive air quality improvement plan within four weeks, citing outdated Euro-II vehicle emission standards, weak enforcement, and insufficient funding for environmental agencies. flag The Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency lacks resources, relying on borrowed testing equipment, while a recent campaign in Islamabad inspected 50 vehicles, fining 13 and warning 17 for exceeding emissions limits. flag Lawmakers urged upgrades to international standards, better monitoring, and institutional reforms. flag Meanwhile, climate risks in Gilgit-Baltistan, including glacial lake outburst floods, are escalating, with officials calling for stronger resilience through clean energy, forest protection, and improved early-warning systems.
