A significant focus of the meeting was the “Make Karachi Green” campaign, an initiative led by the German Consulate General in Karachi. This campaign aims to promote tree planting and raise environmental awareness. Ms. Anja Klos, Consul at the German Consulate General, briefed Qamar on the initiative, which seeks to educate schoolchildren about the importance of trees and the effects of climate change.
To support the campaign, Dr. Lotz presented tree seeds to Qamar and invited Karachi’s citizens to actively participate. Germany has long supported UNICEF’s efforts in Pakistan, contributing to both children’s rights and environmental sustainability.
