Zaighum Abbas, an academic and activist associated with Asian People’s Movement on debt and development said that “climate change can’t be addressed without the radical transformation of capitalist production. He added that the environment is destroyed primarily by bigger corporations which have prioritized profits instead of the environment.”
Haqooq-E-Khalq Movement’s Ammar Ali Jan said that the increase in smog in Lahore is because of no regulation of bigger industries in the city. He added that it is no solution to close the brick kiln industry, it deprives the workers of jobs in this sector. Ammar Jan stressed that the brick kiln industry should be shifted to new technology such as zig-zag which is more environmentally friendly and industries must be regulated in a way that they are penalised for breaching environmental protocols.”
