New climate development strategy for the world is much more result-oriented. Pakistan is making all out efforts for sustainable development. (Sajid Imtiaz)
2. Strategy 2000s
Departments of Government and
foreign donors have been
collaboratively improving different
segments of environment. PEPA is
still significant. Governments have
been conducting summer and
autumn forestation drives every
year. Twenty (20) million saplings will
be planted in Punjab and Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa during 2013-14.

3. Climate development must be done
by medium and large enterprises and
local political bodies in all provinces
of Pakistan. MLEs must seek
technical and financial assistance
from donors and government
departments.
UNEP, UNIDO and UN Habitat will
finance $0.8 million, $65 million and
$38.8 million respectively during
2013 to 2017.
Strategy 2010s Activity 1
FPCCI, KCCI, LCCI, PCCI and ICCI must
arrange seminars and workshops for
university graduates so that they
could establish climate development
enterprises. They can get knowhow
and finance from UNEP and CDKN.
Livelihood opportunities would be
created. Hopefully Zafar Bakhtawari,
President ICCI would agree with the
strategy.
4. SMEDA, SME Bank and UNIDO must
offer loans to medium and large
enterprises for climate development
in Pakistan.
Activity 2
Activity 3
Every year in May or June, carbon
emission and green cover must be
evaluated by enterprises having
environmental experts and TQM
consultants. Remember that donors
rely on reports of competent
enterprises. Hopefully UNEP and
CDBN would agree.
