Advocacy campaigns

Our advocacy efforts are aimed directly at involving the key decision makers to affect policy, lobby for changes in laws and introduce legislation for the public good. Our advocacy campaigns are taken up on a longer term basis, since policy change requires continuous follow-up and adaptation to dynamic nature of the problems and general environment.

Some of our significant campaigns include:

• Lobbying for promoting Renewable Energy Technologies.
• Checking Noise and Air Pollution from Rickshaws.
• ‘Cut Duty; Not Trees Campaign’ (aimed at bringing down the duty on imported wood to prevent deforestation in the already forest depleted country).
• Promulgation of Consumer Protection Law (aimed at formulation and implementation of consumer protection laws in the country in the face of globalization and an open economy).
• Successful Declaration of 18th August ‘Pakistan National Plantation Day’ after a long campaign.
