There are many challenges to the ecology
and environment of Pakistan, one of them being the growing
volume of solid waste due to increasing population,
urbanization, and industrialization. The mountainous regions
of Pakistan offer some of the most spectacular and
fascinating landscapes and ecology in the world, attracting
many domestic and foreign tourists; they, thereby, offer
these regions an opportunity to develop their local
economies. This study recommends that solutions need to be
steadily built on a framework in order to successfully and
sustainably manage mountain waste. This report presents
various recommendations and implementable actions that may
be adopted in a phased manner in order to overcome solid
waste management (SWM) challenges faced in mountain areas.
This study represents the first attempt of the World Bank to
examine SWM issues in these unique, ecologically fragile
areas that face concurrent challenges of high poverty and
increasing pressures from tourism development. Chapter one
gives introduction. Chapter two discusses the current
landscape of the SWM sector in Pakistan. In chapter three,
the report investigates the current situation regarding SWM
in the mountain areas of Pakistan. Chapter four looks at the
complexity of managing solid waste in mountain areas as well
as the various challenges and opportunities that arise.
Chapter five presents a framework or foundation on which
solutions can be steadily built. In conclusion, chapter six
briefly summarizes the role of the World Bank in the SWM
sector and how it can provide support to clients to improve
SWM services and practices in mountain areas in the South
Asia region and elsewhere. |
