Climate Action

Greening South Punjab.
One Community at a Time.

LPP is tackling Pakistan's climate crisis at the grassroots level — planting urban forests, installing solar tubewells, and building community resilience against extreme heat, floods, and drought.

The Climate Reality in South Punjab

Why Climate Action Cannot Wait

South Punjab is one of Pakistan's most climate-vulnerable regions — facing record temperatures, unpredictable monsoons, groundwater depletion, and increasing disaster frequency. LPP's climate programmes address these threats at the community level.

50°C+

Summer peak temperatures recorded in Lodhran in recent years

3×

Increase in flood frequency in South Punjab over the past decade

40%

Groundwater depletion in key agricultural districts since 2000

90%

Urban tree cover lost in South Punjab towns over 30 years

Urban Greening

South Punjab's Towns are Heating Up

Rapid urbanisation and tree-clearing for construction have stripped towns of natural cooling. LPP's urban forest programme restores green cover through school greening, roadside plantations, and women's community nurseries.

Clean Energy

Diesel Costs are Destroying Smallholder Farming

Smallholder farmers in South Punjab spend PKR 80,000–120,000 per year on diesel for irrigation pumps. LPP's solar tubewell programme cuts this cost to near-zero — freeing income for food, education, and resilience.

Our Climate Programmes

Two Programmes. Proven Impact.

LPP's climate action focuses on two evidence-based interventions: urban reforestation and solar-powered irrigation. Both are community-led, locally sustained, and designed for long-term impact.

Urban Forests Programme

Community Tree Plantation Drives

LPP establishes urban forests and green belts across towns, schools, and roadsides in South Punjab — partnering with local communities to plant native species, protect saplings, and sustain green cover for decades.

50,000+ trees planted across 8 districts since programme launch

School greening — 40+ schools now have dedicated tree canopy areas

Community nurseries: training women to grow and distribute saplings

Species selected for local climate suitability and food/fodder value

Seasonal plantation drives open to public — register below

Solar Energy Programme

Solar-Powered Tubewells for Smallholders

LPP replaces diesel-powered agricultural tubewells with clean solar systems — cutting fuel costs for smallholder farmers, reducing carbon emissions, and enabling reliable year-round irrigation independent of grid power.

120+ solar tubewells installed across South Punjab farming communities

Average diesel saving: PKR 80,000–120,000 per farmer per year

CO₂ reduction: ~4 tonnes per tubewell per year

Priority for women-headed households and disaster-affected farmers

Application open — subject to assessment and available allocation

Four Ways to Take Climate Action

Whether you want to plant a tree, power your farm with solar, report environmental damage, or simply learn more — there is a role for you.

Join a Tree Plantation Drive

LPP organises seasonal plantation drives across South Punjab — open to individuals, schools, businesses, and community groups. Register to join the next drive in your district.

Apply for a Solar Tubewell

Smallholder farmers in LPP's active districts can apply for the Solar Tubewell Programme. Subject to site assessment and need-based prioritisation.
