Pakistan's development efforts are guided by its 2011 Framework for
Economic Growth, which identifies actions needed to create a
prosperous, industrialised Pakistan through rapid and sustainable
development. Industrialisation has the potential to drive
Pakistan's economic growth and contribute significantly to meeting
both economic and human development goals in Pakistan. Expansions
of industrialisation activities, whether in highly developed or
developing countries, can be stimuli for intense debate about such
projects' benefits and costs to the region in which they are to be
located, to the national economy - and to human health and the
environment. Pakistan's 2011 Framework for Economic Growth
recognises that, to accelerate industrialisation, Pakistan must
reduce the cost of doing business and create an incentive structure
designed to achieve a competitive, dynamic, and export-driven
industrial sector capable of providing employment to the growing
labour force. Competing in global markets requires a socially and
environmentally sustainable industrialisation strategy. The four
main inputs for sustainable industrial growth in Pakistan discussed
in this book are: (i) Macroeconomic stability and sectoral policies
to support industrial competitiveness by allowing long-term
planning, including investments in infrastructure and cleaner
production; (ii) Upgraded trade facilitation and infrastructure
(particularly transport and energy) to address some of
industrialisation's spatial aspects. Improved transport
infrastructure will lower production's environmental costs; (iii)
Greening of Pakistan's industrial sector to enhance international
competitiveness - 'greening' will make Pakistan a more attractive
export partner for nations and firms committed to green production;
(iv) Strong institutions - for example, environmental management
agencies to control pollution, and cleaner production centers to
increase domestic awareness of international environmental
standards- to implement industrialisation initiatives effectively,
including those for small and medium-sized enterprises.This book
provides a comprehensive analysis of issues relating to the debate
about Pakistan's green industrial growth and lays out priorities
and strategies for 'greening' Pakistan's industrial growth.
