THE BILLION TREE PLANTATION DRIVE: A STEP TOWARDS BUILDING A CLIMATE-RESILIENT GREEN ECONOMY IN PAKISTAN.

Abstract

The global economy and the ecology are in danger from climate change. Countries like Pakistan which are still developing and so more susceptible to its effects, need to find creative ways to adapt to and lessen its effects. This study looks at how the Billion Tree Plantation Drive and other forestry programs may help Pakistan create a green economy that can withstand the effects of climate change. This document summarises the project, the methods used to accomplish it, the parties involved, and the results regarding climate resilience. The potential role of forestry in climate change mitigation and adaptation and the connections between climate change, forestry, and the green economy are explored. The study also highlights policy implications and suggestions and examines the difficulties and possibilities given by the Billion Tree Plantation Drive. Research finds that the Billion Tree Plantation Drive may serve as a model for combining actions to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change with those that promote long-term economic growth. It stresses the need to expand and duplicate such efforts, increase community participation, bolster institutional capabilities, and safeguard the survival of newly planted trees. Results from the study support the idea that sustainable forestry practices, such as the Billion Tree Plantation Drive, are essential to halting climate change and attaining sustainable development.
