To help mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Pakistan, a large-scale riverine forest restoration project is set to be launched across 41,000 hectares in Sindh’s Jamshoro and Matiari districts under a public-private partnership model.
According to officials, the initiative is projected to generate 35–40 million carbon credits, which will be traded on international carbon markets — providing Pakistan with valuable foreign exchange revenue.
In addition, the board has sanctioned the engagement of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to conduct a feasibility study for a new, expanded riverine forestation project covering around 88,000 hectares in Sindh.
