Addressing a webinar on the creation of the G-TH, organized by Paklaunch.com in collaboration with the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination, Alam stated that the hub is backed by the Government of Pakistan in partnership with private sector stakeholders, academic institutions, and international green technology leaders.
