Climate Change
Climate change is now recognized as one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing our globe. Climate change will likely result in reduced diversity of ecosystems and the extinction of many species. Pakistan has already started bearing the brunt of climate change as most of its rivers are drying up. The resultant effect of which is disappearing ecosystems, drought and unavailability of water for irrigation.
Renewable Energy
Promotion, supply and operation of renewable energy technology (specially in the
villages of Pakistan where more than 70% of the population resides) is a program
that comes under “Tackling the Climate Change” program of WELDO. Under this
project WELDO recently provided capacity building training to local farmers in
five locations in Punjab in management, operation and up-keeping of solar panels
for use in peter engine water motors.
Afforestation
Afforestation is a very important tool that can help control and reverse the
issue of climate change. Forests not only act as carbon sinks but also are act
as a habitat of millions of plant and animal species. Recognizing the importance
of afforestation WELDO undertakes afforestation campaign twice a year through
out the area of Islamabad and related villages.
Awareness Raising
Awareness raising on climate change issues can achieve multiple goals as the
majority of population of Pakistan unknowingly indulges in activities that
become the cause of discharge of toxic fumes in the air and release of effluents
in the precious water arteries that sustain life in Pakistan.
Thus WELDO has initiated a “Citizens Who Care” campaign to raise awareness about
the use of toxic fuels in industries, homes, villages and other manufacturing
concerns so that their usage can be reduced and stopped.
Tobacco Control Research
GENDER BASED ANALYSIS OF SELECTED TOBACCO CONTROL POLICY INITIATIVES IN PAKISTAN
Gender Based Analysis of Selected Tobacco Run Programs in Pakistan is an International Development Research Center's (IDRC) funded research project. This project is aimed at controlling the high rate increase in the number of female smokers in Pakistan. The project intends to achieve this through carrying out gender based analysis of tobacco control programs, identifying gaps in them and compiling a framework for effective tobacco control programs that cater to the needs of both genders. In this regard we require your input. So whether you are a research institute, a university, an organization or a hospital working on tobacco control programs come ahead with your support and send your publications to us.
