NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
RESPONSE TO GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY
The need for regulating and tackling multi-dimensional environmental problems has become the need of the hour. Unchecked use of hazardous chemicals, plastics and other toxic materials has polluted our land, water and air. Due to unplanned developmental activities it is imperative to check environmental degradation and degeneration through effective laws and regulatory provisions. Pakistan has been more than prompt in responding to this challenge of change.
2. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
In order to Blanca economic growth with environmental preservation and promotion initiatives, it is important to undertake sustainable development and to create awareness, among individuals and organizations alike, for their roles and responsibilities in this regards.
3. NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY STANDARDS (NEQS).
An effective legal cover, prescribing the use and checking the abuse of environmental resources, acts as a catalyst in this process. Accordingly, after extensive research and analysis, the environmental protection agencies of the Government of Pakistan have laid down the National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS), for municipal and liquid industrial effluent and industrial gaseous emissions, motor vehicle exhaust and noise. The NEQS were enforced, in respect of municipal wastes and vehicular emissions, from 24th August, 1993 throughout Pakistan, under the Pakistan Environmental Protection Ordinance 1983. The NEQS in respect of the industrial units stand enforced with effect from 1st July 1996. Environmental protection laws and regulations are a manifestation that we are indeed poised for progress, both on investment and environment fronts.


plz pray,
