And the damage resulting from environmental pollution caused by its intensive manufacturing activities.

Boghali concluded his intervention by proposing to expand membership in the Parliamentary Network for Environment and Climate, by inviting new members who share the same vision and goals for protecting the environment, combating climate change, and achieving sustainable development, which forms the basis for establishing the network.
