Pakistan – Wasted potential !• Natural resources under stress and environmental inefficiencies not being
plugged– Water - Scarcity going up :
• Storage capacity at 9% while world average is 40% – Water - Delivery efficiency :
• 35-40% from canal head to root zone– Forests – High rate of deforestation– Energy - Thermal generation efficiency low
• 25-35% while world average is 55%– Energy- Distribution losses high :
• 23% which is very high– Energy Security - Capacity of strategic energy reserves low :
• 29 days compared to 60 days (US) and 90 days (EU)
• Overall :• inefficient economy but with a high inherent potential for win-win
improvements

Development pathway – unsustainable
• Environmental costs – show alarming situation:– Environmental degradation costs 6% of GDP
(Rs 365 billion/annum)
– Air pollution (indoor/urban air) – 50%
– Water pollution (sanitation/hygeine) – 30%– Land degradation (reduce agri productivity) – 20%
• Estimates do not include degradation of coastal/marine environment
• Climate Change further exacerbating the situation..

Pakistan – mirroring the wrong global trends…..
10,000 BC = 5 million 1 AD = 150 million 1800 AD = 1 billion 1950 AD = 2.5 billion 2000 AD = 6.1 billion 2011 AD = 7 billion 2050 AD = 9 billion
54% growth in population from 1990 to 2008 …. Already the 6th most populous country (WB)
![Page 10: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
UNEP ETB
• GHG Emissions at 42 GtCO2e/ annum are 5 times what Earth can absorb (UNEP)
• Energy is main culprit
• Pakistan’s GHG emissions, though still very low, show a rising trend
• Poised to go up 15 times in next 40 years based on a coal based growth projection
Pakistan – mirroring the wrong global trends…..
![Page 11: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The urbanization challenge :
• Pakistan has highest urbanization rate in South Asia (1990-2025)
• Searching for sustainable cities to absorb influx
Pakistan – mirroring the wrong global trends…..
![Page 12: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Our foot is stuck on the accelerator and we are……………..…..
![Page 13: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Global trends demand a re-think Green Economy
• The original growth model being revisited, revised and improved….but…
Still searching for a definition ?
PTI endeavors to lead Pakistan in this direction…

Harnessing the Strengths
![Page 15: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A shifting global viewThe Most Dangerous Nation - 2008
The World’s Bravest Nation – 2010-11
![Page 16: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why?• Growing recognition of Pakistan as a “strong and
resilient nation” and a “survival economy” which in the past decade has absorbed and sustained :– Two mega-floods (2010-11)– Two cyclones in the South– Massive Earthquake– Influx of IDP’s and continuing stream of Afghan
refugees• Moreover, a country which has braved the
“security spillover” and associated economic drain of the War in Afghanistan.
![Page 17: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Shaping a new “development governance”
– Partnership between Government-Business-Citizen– Citizen Sector - Emerging, independent and assertive
• Don’t wait –step in when Government slow or absent
– Backed by Indigenous philanthropy – one of the main pillars of social support and rising every year
• Rs 70 – 100 billion/year (1998)
– Sets the right priorities
![Page 18: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pakistan...a country with a BIG heart !• Host to the largest number of refugees in the world
(1.7 Million)
• Sustaining Highest number of refugees vis-à-vis its economic capacity
![Page 19: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pakistan …..innovating
• On ‘Innovation Efficiency’ Pakistan’s economy ranks an impressive 4th, ahead of all developed and developing countries except China “INSEAD Innovation Index 2011”
• Pakistani businesses and entrepreneurs have shown extreme resilience and ingenuity in a very adverse environment - working with minimum resources to get impressive results.
• Depicts Pakistan’s strong ‘can do’ attitude in the face of a wanting enabling environment
![Page 20: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pakistan in Next-11 (Goldman Sachs)……
5 years back Pakistan termed a country…. “having a high latent potential of becoming, along with the BRICs, the world largest economies of the 21st century” 5 years of misrule and poor governance / eco mismgmt..
…… Still not being written off …….Still considered an Economy “waiting to happen”
BUT
![Page 21: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tipping Point
• Point demanding change …. make sustainable choices.
“Change is inevitable…..Growth is optional” (John Maxwell)
• PTI aims to deliver change and sustainable growth
![Page 22: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Where does PTI stand ?
• Pakistan’s only Political Party to :– Include environmental conservation in its party
Constitution Objectives:– “To protect the environmental resources and ensure clean air, clean
water and a sustainable growth in Pakistan in the face of emerging threats such as climate change”
• Entrust environmental responsibility within party structure
• Include a focus on Environment in its election manifesto
• Clearly outline its green development/environmental policy
![Page 23: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What PTI is aiming for ?
Shift away from “BAU” growth
trajectory - resource
inefficient and pollution laden
Balance the needs of
development and nature
conservation
Provide opportunities for
poverty eradication, encouraging
innovation and creation of green
jobs
Lead to an improved quality of life for citizens
of Pakistan.

How PTI will “make it happen”?
State the “Obvious”• Challenges and Solutions• Action not sloganeering
Political ownership• Party Constitution• Election Manifesto
Create the political “buy in”:• Translate for Public
appeal• Define in economic
terms
Keys to Implementation• Political mandate• Public obligation• Economic incentive

Solutions – Not “rocket science”• Problems are known• Strategies are plenty • Solutions are common sense
BUT Still….The “obvious” still needs to be :
Clearly stated Politically owned
Backed by a solution driven approach

![Page 33: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Air – clean and breathableWhere we are ?
• Deteriorating air quality in all big cities
• Air pollution is estimated to be 20 times higher than WHO standards
• Indoor air pollution (biomass fuels) is also a big issue
• High and rising direct & indirect economic costs– Transport, industry, energy and
deforestation the main sources of air pollution
• Choking our population with slow poisoning ?
Rising to the challenge …… • Clean and affordable fuels – CNG
/LPG / Cleaner gasoline• Clean-up Transport / Vehicles
– Retirement of polluting vehicles– Establish and implement vehicle
manufacturing standards– Improve traffic
management/pedestrian/cycle paths – Vehicle check up system for air
pollution – Yearly certificates
• Mass Transit Systems – PP Partners• Urban forestry sinks• Air monitoring system in all
major cities• Strict enforcement of industrial
standards with incentives (SMART)
![Page 34: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Energy – Affordable and sustainableWhere we are ?
• A low GHG emitter but poised for major growth
• 15 fold increase expected in next 40 years
• Shift to coal powered electricity generation (imported + Thar coal)
• Huge losses in distribution and transmission
• Inefficiencies in industry and household use
• A cleaner growth is possible
Rising to the challenge …..• Clean Coal power generation the priority
(Imported + Indigenous)– Get “best available clean coal process
(transport/handling/usage) and technologies” and capitalize on carbon credits
– Carbon Capture and Storage options• Enhance share of RE in national grid mix:
– Wind Power in south wind corridor– Solar power -solar thermal / tubewell pumps
– Small hydro potential in KPK/NAs
• Nuclear and Large Hydro as clean energy• Energy Conservation – “win-win”
– Energy labeling , Smart Grids – Energy audits and ESSCOs for buildings– Inefficient Tube well replacement– Solar water geysers program– Consumer awareness building program
• Efficiency enhancements of power plant
![Page 35: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Buildings – Livable, affordable and green
• Shift towards efficient building designs– Large potential for energy savings
• Establish and comply with Green building codes• ESSCO’s concept with carbon crediting to be
employed:» Energy efficiency construction» Efficient lighting» Insulation enhancement» Solar water heating» Natural lighting maximizing

Agriculture – Producing more with less
• Enhance efficiency of irrigation Water use • Conservation / Canal lining• Hill torrent irrigation system • Rain water harvesting• Solar powered water pumping• Recycle/reuse agriculture water
• Expand Organic farming and reduce intensive pesticide use– IPM, biological pest management
• Undertake responsive land use planning – Control urban encroachments
• Develop Climate resistant crop varieties
![Page 37: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Waste – Manage + profit to “zero” waste
• Develop integrated waste mgmt plan targeting “zero” waste :– Waste collection, handling and disposal including recycling /
reuse– Utilization for energy + fertilizers + carbon credits– Localized action – facilitative finance
• Public private mechanism• Ban on plastic bags
– Strict enforcement with alternate reusable or biodegradable bags manufacturing
• Shared hospital waste incineration• E-waste – regulate for disposal
![Page 38: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Forestry – Restore and expandWhere we are ?
• Highest rate of deforestation (1.8-2%)
– Coniferous forest decline (40000 ha/year)
• Low area coverage of forests (Less than 5%)
• Low survival rates - afforestation campaigns
• Poor valuation of forest eco-services
• Precious Mangrove forests under threat from fuelwood use pressure, although– Largest found in any arid climate– Coastal protectors
Rising to the challenge……• Aim to double the country’s
dismal forest cover in 5 years• True Forest valuation to be done
• Timber, watersheds, biodiversity, carbon sinks, flood protection
• Public-private mechanisms – REDD+ through proper regulations– Community based stewardship
• Tackle timber mafias • Promote non-traditional forestry
– Urban / Riverine / Catchment / Mangroves / Farm forests
• Halt conversion of forest lands• Provide alternate fuels
![Page 39: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Biodiversity – Preserving nature’s gifts
• Commit to a comprehensive valuation / inventory of our treasure of biodiversity (flora/fauna/threatened species with ranking)
– Snow Leopard / Markhors / Houbara Bustard / Blind Dolphin / Green Turtles / Tragopan pheasants
• Need to document and preserve our natural heritage for future generations
• Community engagement/empowerment for management of natural treasures– True custodians and stakeholders
• Treat genetic diversity as global assets

National Parks / Green Areas Repositories of biodiversity and living “lungs”
• Translate from “paper” to efficiently manage eco parks– Eco tourism promotion– Medicinal plants– Trophy hunting for conservation– Community based management
• Public parks for each small town with public-private management– Eco parks or safari parks for entertainment– Public land to be leased
![Page 41: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Climate Change – Adapt and mitigate
• Transform from “Most Vulnerable” to “Most Adaptive”– Mainstream climate risks + costs into decision
making– Vulnerability mapping of country to understand
the challenge– Climate proof existing infrastructure– Climate resilient development for the future– Community based adaptation schemes
• Climate Fund Development – Leverage funds for adaptation/mitigation
![Page 42: PTI Environment Policy Vision](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051111/552d1d165503460c188b461e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Financing the transition…..
• No “money from the sky”– Set “green” priorities for internal financing after CBA !– Mostly incremental financing
• Re-align PSDP financing– Prioritize “freed fiscal space” towards a green focus !
• Public-private partnerships – Capitalize on “win-win” investment opportunities
• Leverage through a “Green Development Fund”– Tie up with global funds (GCF, REDD+, Bilateral donors)
