Speaker National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq Tuesday emphasized the need to address the environmental consequences of armed conflicts. He expressed these views in his message on the occasion of the “International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict”, which was observed across the world on 6th November 2024 under the auspices of the United Nations. The Speaker stressed that armed conflicts not only bring widespread human suffering but also lead to severe environmental degradation and badly affect biodiversity. He highlighted the impact of war on natural resources and the ecosystems that sustain life, urging global collaboration to protect the environment in conflict zones. “The devastating effects of war on the environment extend beyond national borders and generations.” Ayaz Sadiq said that armed conflicts and war destroy infrastructure as well as cause deforestation, and soil degradation and undermine the global efforts to address climate change and biodiversity loss. The Speaker called on lawmakers worldwide to advocate for policies that prioritize environmental protection, even amidst conflict, and to push for legislation that holds parties accountable for environmental damage in conflict zones.
