Implementation &
Outcomes

13. Sudangrass: COPHC successfully planted 3 acres on trail basis , these tall, fast-growing, heat-loving summer
annual grasses can smother weeds, suppress some nematode species and penetrate compacted subsoil . The
crop is used as pasture for dairy and beef cows, sheep, and goats, and as a feed for poultry. After the trail
basis we are planning to expand it to 5000 acres .

Plan 2022

34. Plan 2022
 We will share our experience and extent our hands to all public authorities in order to expand this
programme outside the Free Zone .
 Getting it implemented in North Free Zone by planting 500,000 tress.
 Organize seminars to create awareness and expand our influence to benefit more people and
environment.

 Implement activity based visit for concerned specialists to get insight from our successful model.
 Conduct workshops and seminars to promote green city awareness.

35. Plan 2022 (Large Scale Implementation)
Actions Required for Extension Of This Model Outside Free Zone:
1) Early approval of Gwadar Green Fund.
2) Prioritize actions in four essential areas: energy, transportation, food, and housing.
3) Construction of infrastructure that is resource-efficient and based on renewable energy sources.
4) Identification of public sites.
5) A detailed planation plan for next five years.
6) Water availability in Gwadar city .
7) Technical innovations with the potential to radically reduce CO2 emissions are required on top
priority basis to make Gwadar a sustainable green city

Challenges & Solutions

37. Experience-Water
Water has been very scarce in Gwadar, a reasonable ecological irrigation system by way of sprinkler or drip
irrigation system has been established in the port and Free Zone by utilizing the waste water treatment.
However, water is a big challenge for the 10 million plantation project . Due to hot weather an uninterpreted
water supply system is required to increase plantation success rate.
Construction of Sprinkler Irrigation System in Park Construction of drip irrigation system in parks

38. Finances
Plantation & maintenance of 10 Million trees in Gwadar city require systemic financing to generate
and maintain uninterrupted flow of funds. A proper Finance mechanism may be established through
possible collaboration with local Businesses, Organizations, Government & Public . It is suggested:
1. Government Budget = 70%
2. Investor Investment= 20%
3. Public donation= 10%

39. Land Use
Gwadar is a ideal place to emerge as an attractive tourist destination.The city owns beautiful virgin
beaches, large open spaces coastline of around 1,000 kilometers from Karachi to Gwadar. The land
usage in Gwadar should be of high priority which may have long-term consequences. As bio-productive
space is a issue in already developed cities due to scarce resource,so its critical for municipal
administration and city planner to choose amongst various land-use types. A clear roadmap to keep in
balance the political, economic, and business interests in order to achieve long-term environmental
and social sustainability.

40. Saplings
If Five million saplings are produced and planted every year.Planting 10 million seedlings will take two
years.
50,000,00
10,000,000
1Year
2Years

41. Other Issues
Its seriously observed that during mass plantation & after project completion
there will be a serious issue of manpower and maintenance of plants. For this
purpose, a significant long-term investment is required for enhancement and
maintenance of trees.
Develop external and internal sustainability training programs.
Collaboration with environment experts, academic institutes, research
centers to plan, monitor and evaluate establishment of green spaces .

Wider Collaboration & Engagement
To achieve one Million trees target COPHC is willing to share its experience and ready to extend its
hands to all stakeholders whether it be local government, industry players, school community, citizens
etc for the development of smart and sustainable Green Gwadar City.
