The document discusses environmental problems and sustainability efforts in Israel. It notes Israel's large population, rapid growth, waste disposal issues, and industrial expansion are putting pressure on the environment. Israel is addressing these challenges through recycling programs, energy conservation including solar technologies, rural development using ICT, and environmental awareness campaigns. Lessons from Israel's projects in areas like recycling, energy conservation, solar power, and rural development could be applied to sustainable development efforts in Pakistan.

9. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN PAKISTAN USING PROJECTS GOING
ON IN ISRAEL

RECYCLING:
 USE OF PLASTIC BAGS WERE BANNED BUT THIS DECISION WAS ABONDONED
DUE TO RECYCLING PROCESS.
 COMPUTER AID INTLL.(CAI) HAD TOOK AN INITIATIVE TO AWARE PEOPLE OF
RECYCLING DISPOSABLE PROJECTS.
ENERGY CONSERVATION:
 PAKISTAN CAN CONSERVE UPTO 1100MW OF ENERGY IF IT’S INDUSTRIES AND
HOUSEHOLDS CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOUR.
 IT REQUIRES PROPER LEGISLATION,INTERNATIONAL TREATIES
AND GUIDELINES FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION.

10. SOLAR POWER PROJECTS:
10
 PAKISTAN HAS SET A TARGET TO ADD 5%
APPROXIMATELY 10,000MW ELECTRICITY
THROUGH RENEWABLE ENERGIES BY THE
YEAR 2030.
 GOVERNMENT AND COMMERCIAL
ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD MAKE A
STRATEGY OF ELECTRICITY LOAD WITH
SOLAR, WIND AND BIO THERMAL ENERGY
METHODS

11. RURAL DEVELOPMENT:
 PAKISTAN IS AN AGRICULTURE COUNTRY
CONTRIBUTES 21% OF GDP IN ECONOMY OF
PAKISTAN AND 70% IN EXPORTS.
 AGRICULTURE SECTOR GIVES EMPLOYMENT TO 17
MILLION PEOPLE WHICH IS 44% OF TOTAL
LABOURS IN PAKISTAN AND 67% OF PEOPLE FROM
RURAL AREAS.
 WATER AND SANITATION SYSTEMS ARE NOT
WELL-MANAGED IN RURAL AREAS.

12. KEY LESSONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION:
12
 IMPROVE WATER QUALITY
 REDUCE AIR POLLUTION
 FORBID DEFORESTATION AND PLANT MORE TREES
 REDUCE VEHICULAR EMISSIONS
 TURN OFF UNWANTED LIGHTS
 STOP WASTING WATER
 FORBID USING PLASTIC BAGS
 CREATE LESS TRASH
 CONSERVE ENERGY BY USING ENERGY SAVERS
 REDUCE TOXICITY BY ELIMINATING MERCURY FROM OUR HOMES
 RECYCLE WASTE

13.  AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE IMPROVED
 PHYSICAL CONDITION OF ECOSYSTEM SHOULD BE IMPROVED
 BY FOLLOWING THE FOLLOWING STEPS WE CAN IMPROVE OUR
ENVIRONMENT AND GET A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT SOCIETY.

14. CONCLUSION:
14
 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR
EVERY SOCIETY.IT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY MUTUAL
COOPERATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES OF
THE WORLD.BY IMPROVING ECONOMIC GROWTH,
CONTROL POPULATION SIZE AND IMPROVING
ECOSYSTEM WE CAN ASSURE A BETTER
ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL OF US.IT ALSO ASSURES A
