The project promotes full and productive employment and decent work in rural areas, aiming at the progressive realization of their right to Decent Rural Employment[1]. Strengthening of key value-chains and introduction of target SLM measures will lead to improved income generation opportunities and more diversified livelihoods for around 20,000 people (50% women) in the target districts and landscapes. Additional socio-economic benefits include the following and will be calculated during initial stages of project implementation: ? Increased policy support for SLM and incentives for the province of Punjab ? District scale land planning and decision support systems available and operational for local administrators ? Increased cross-sectoral collaborations, data sharing and technical support to address LD and its impacts ? Increased livelihood and economic resilience through improved market access by smallholder to climate resilient value chains ? Increased social resilience and human well-being (Gender equality, access to information, participatory decision-making) of 20,000 beneficiaries (Women 10,000; Men 10,000) ? Improved food security through increased productivity and delivery of ecosystem services (project contribution defined, but not monitored) [1] Specific guidance on how FAO can promote the Four Pillars of Decent Work in rural areas is provided in the Quick reference for addressing decent rural employment (as well as in the full corresponding Guidance document).

The primary GEB is the reduction in GHG emissions by promoting the cost-effective application of sustainable woody biomass energy efficient technologies such as biomass-based power generation and innovative practices for woody biomass energy conversion and utilization. Such technologies are intended to directly contribute to reducing GHG emissions in the rural areas and towns, including the introduction and application of improved wood-fired industrial thermal equipment such as efficient wood-fired boilers, kilns, and furnaces with their own inherent social and economic benefits. The GHG emissions that are attributable to the project will come from the woody biomass energy production and woody biomass energy technology application activities that will be carried out under the project. Such applications in the rural sector areas of selected districts of the 4 provinces - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan) are intended to facilitate reduced GHG emissions from energy activities of the country. Some expected replications of these applications are to be facilitated during the project implementation period and will be in operation towards the end of the project or just after the end of the project.Global Environment Facility UNDP Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Pakistan Islamabad 33.72148 73.04329 +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ 37219 UNDP Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC) 3439041 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10885 Global Environment Facility Promote high-impact clean technology innovation for scale up climate action and creation of green jobs in Pakistan Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. 202. The project is expected to result in more cleantech start-ups and SMEs being identified and supported, thus acting as a catalyst for entrepreneurship development and cleantech investment in Pakistan. The accelerator project Pakistan, as a dedicated national platform for promoting and supporting cleantech innovation, will result in an enhancement of human capital, thereby leading to job creation and poverty reduction as well as to an increased women participation in the entire value chain of technology development. New job opportunities in the country will in turn contribute to further reduce the current brain drain of Pakistan, which according to the brain drain index, in 2021 ranks 72 out of 173 countries[1]. The clean technologies deployed will contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions focusing around the priority sectors and industries by promoting innovative cleantech solutions for long lasting positive effects on environment and socio-economic benefits by enhancing economic green growth. These include solutions for the improvement of resource efficiency and energy access, resulting in environmental improvements, and consequently reducing health risks, in particular for women and children. 203. The project will provide added value by bridging the gap between cleantech innovators and investors, thereby paving the way for the creation of new businesses opportunities resulting in a value added for the domestic economy. At the same time, through engaging all relevant stakeholders in the national CIEE, and encouraging their cooperation, as well as through linking different CIEEs across countries, the project will provide opportunities for international business scale-up and exchange of knowledge. 204. It is expected that special attention will be given to address gender issues as described above; therefore, the project will contribute to the promotion of women entrepreneurial development and job creation for women in Pakistan. 205. In summary, the project yields the following socioeconomic benefits as a result of supporting and introducing new cleaner technologies into the market, strengthening national institutional capabilities, enhancing the availability of financial instruments, and encouraging inclusivity in the entrepreneurial and job markets. Specifically, these interventions lead to: 1) Enhancement of human capital Entrepreneurial, environmental and technological skills development and awareness raising have the effect of a larger number of cleantech products being commercialized and entering the market. Better decisions are made by entrepreneurs regarding the sustainability and life cycle approach to the products and businesses. 2) Local product development and production with job creation, generating more income Fostering new local technologies lowers costs benefiting both the technology developer and end-user and encourages consumers to buy more efficient products and have a great benefits from this technological change. 3) An enriched innovation ecosystem The high-quality institutions attract the build confidence in local and foreign investors as well as the small business community in an economy due to low volume of transactions costs that result in the advancement of environment friendly technologies. 4) Improved energy access for people living in rural areas Investing in energy access, electrification and renewables are well known to contribute to the decarbonization of the economy. Also, the move away from traditional cooking and heating methods reduces health risks. 5) Promotion of women and youth entrepreneurial development and job creation The promotion of gender and youth inclusion and mainstreaming in a country tends to be productive, innovative and creative for problem solution so it is an advantage to obtain environmental targets. Mainstreaming diversity will encourage the cooperation and cohesion of people in advocating for environmentally beneficial practices and products.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.1. A range of factors have historically promoted an overuse of chemicals, especially in Pakistan’s cotton production. These include vested business interests, harmful fiscal incentives, and subsidy schemes, alongside weak regulation and national tracking systems. Limited farmer education, gender inequalities, scarcity of expert advice and low analytical capacity in the field further exacerbate the problem. A lasting shift towards better and less consumption will have to tackle perceived and real trade-offs between sustainability and economic growth, in response to which the project aims to present a compelling business case for alternative raw materials, convening all key interest groups. The project will tackle the systemic challenges described in the barrier section by connecting the growing number of textile industries investing in bioeconomy innovations with farmers and producers of good quality, sustainable raw materials, which meet consumer demand[1]. The project activities like conducting socio-economic and global environmental benefits (health, employment, environment, etc.), techno-economic feasibility study of banana fibre extraction and softening and different products, will assess project interventions impacts on promoting better and green jobs in rural areas. In addition project activities like, developing sustainable banana production technologies and guidelines, implementing pilot scheme for traceability, developing Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) plan and Standards Operating Procedures (SOPs) will ensure improvement of labor standard and labour condition. The FAO 10 principles for a sustainable bioeconomy presented before could be used to ensure that no one is left behind in the development of the project. The project will develop a multistakeholder consultation process and involve different actors to be part of the design and reduce any tradeoffs between fibers. [1] Pakistan’s first Biennial Update Report to the UNFCCC (https://unfccc.int/documents/470405) and a 2022 Survey on the Agricultural Sector in Sindh Province (https://openjicareport.jica.go.jp/pdf/12368841.pdf demonstrate) emphasize persistent gender inequalities and related vulnerabilities in Pakistan at large, and Sindh in particular – while also making some recommendations that can inform project interventions. Notably, although Sindh is one of the first provinces in Pakistan to develop a legal framework for women's empowerment, many women in rural areas are involved in agricultural activities, women’s leadership of agricultural activities is limited in Sindh. Women’s empowerment varies greatly from village to village, and by community – for example, Muslim women are less likely to perform agricultural work than Hindu women. Context-appropriate engagement modalities and project activities will need to be shaped inclusively with project stakeholders during full project elaboration.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.1. The project will ensure that project staff adhere to both national employment and labour laws, as well as international commitments, and will increase the protection and promotion of worker health and safety. 2. Changes in climate including changes in seasonal flow patterns in the Indus River, heat stress, increased evapotranspiration, and intensification of weather extremes have resulted in higher levels of vulnerability and potential for loss and damage. A major flooding event in 2022 resulted in more than 1.8 million hectares of agricultural land being damaged, and an estimated 80% loss of rice production (an estimated loss of 1.8 million tons of rice) in Sindh province alone. Rice is also a significant source of national methane emissions. As per the recent BUR, CH4 emissions from rice cultivation in Pakistan was 7.83 Mt CO2e accounting for 3.5% of the total emissions of the AFOLU Sector[1]. While rice alone contributes 0.7% of Pakistan’s GDP, the productivity of rice producers in Pakistan is low relative to other major rice producers in the region. Rates of poverty in agricultural regions are high and opportunities to diversify production landscapes by incorporating stress-tolerant varieties, sustainability practices throughout the value chain, and livelihood diversification through value chain development exist.3. The project will produce Global Environmental Benefits (GEB) by targeting sustainable and regenerative management of rice landscapes in Pakistan. To deliver GEBs, the project will drive transformative change toward sustainable rice production landscapes in Sindh Province, a major rice-producing area of Pakistan, and scale out this transformation through the National Food Security Policy (NFSP, 2018) as well as integration into private value chain and trade networks for sustainable rice and agriculture products.4. Through the enabling environment at national, provincial, and district scales for sustainable rice production landscapes, the project will promote sustainable rural livelihoods and employment, food security and nutrition, and facilitate restoration and resilience of agroecosystems. Public-private partnerships of this project will explore and develop market incentives and finance for rice and other products that can deliver environmental livelihood and employment benefits. Investment in nature-based solutions under this project will improve water management, reduce pollution, and conserve key sources of natural- and agro-biodiversity. Integrated landscape management coupled encompassing on-farm technologies and nature-based solutions will enable farmers to sustainably increase productivity and generate environmental, livelihood, and rural employment benefits. Climate-smart, agroecological, and regenerative production practices at scale through improved extension services and adoption of sustainability standards such as SRP will increase the reputation of Pakistan rice exporters, which will eventually increase the foreign earnings of the country. Adaptive knowledge management and outreach at national and global levels via engagement with relevant platforms will further strengthen collaboration with other developing countries through South-South and Triangular Cooperation mechanisms and share its knowledge and experience in sustainable agriculture and food systems with other countries.5.

Hence, the project will ensure that the project staff adhere to both national employment and labour laws, as well as international commitments, and will increase the protection and promotion of worker health and safety. 6. Besides, the project has dedicated output on capacity building of women agri-entrepreneurs to engage in sustainable and resilient livelihoods (Output 3.2.2). Under this output, there will be capacity building and piloting activities of alternative livelihoods development, which will focus on vulnerable group including women and youth.
