Environmental Sustainability

The Shahid Javed Burki Institute of Public Policy (BIPP) introduced its cross-sectoral green initiative, spearheaded by Dr. Iftikhar Hussain Shah, Consultant at BIPP. This initiative is designed to promote environmental sustainability through practical, evidence based interventions across agriculture, corporate landscapes, academia, and community engagement. Following the first monsoon spell, key activities and ecological assessments have been initiated across Punjab. In the agriculture sector, field evaluations at Ameers Organica in Kasur focus on soil health, crop resilience, and the performance of rainwater harvesting systems. In Khyaban-e-Zafar Housing Society, Lahore, corporate green infrastructure is being reviewed to assess monsoon drainage efficiency and the sustainability of landscaped areas. Furthermore, academic collaborations have been launched with Sahara Medical College (Narowal), BNU Lahore, and Namal University to integrate environmental awareness and sustainable practices into education, particularly in the fields of health and green pharmacy. Under the Mission Khudkafeel initiative, tree survival rates are being monitored and awareness campaigns are being organized at Umar Nursery, Kamahan, to highlight plantation outcomes and encourage community participation.
