PAHEL Pakistan's initiative, "Enhancing Climate Resilience in Sukkur through Urban Forestation," tackles rising temperatures, poor air quality, and water scarcity by planting 5,000 native, drought-resistant trees (Neem, Keekar, Babul) along key urban areas, especially rice and Keerthar canal riverbanks. The project aims to reduce the urban heat island effect, improve air quality, and boost biodiversity, benefiting 50,000 residents. It will train and employ 40 local gardeners, prioritizing margin
Sukkur faces severe environmental challenges: urban heat island effect, poor air quality, water scarcity, and lack of green spaces. These issues disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, increasing health risks and economic burdens. Urban forestation can mitigate these problems, enhancing climate resilience and improving quality of life.
This project will plant 5,000 drought-resistant trees in Sukkur, reducing urban heat, improving air quality, and promoting biodiversity. It will train 40 local gardeners, create green spaces, and raise climate awareness, benefiting 50,000 residents and empowering marginalized communities.
The project will create sustainable urban forests, reduce temperatures, improve air quality, and enhance biodiversity. It will empower marginalized communities, provide long-term livelihoods, and foster climate-resilient cities, ensuring lasting environmental and socio-economic benefits. We will engage Municipal Corporation, schools, Colleges, Universities along with forest departments
