About this ebook
Greening Growth in Pakistan through Transport Sector Reforms: A Strategic Environmental, Poverty, and Social
Assessment identifies reforms that can help Pakistan manage its environmental priorities given transport’s
impacts on air quality, noise pollution, road safety, hazardous-materials transport, climate change, and urban
sprawl. The policy options are contextualized in light of the government of Pakistan’s 2011 Framework for
Economic Growth and its strategic objectives.
This analytical work examines the poverty, social, and environmental aspects associated with reforms that
would increase the freight transport sector’s productivity to meet the Framework’s goals. It focuses on the
following areas:
• Analyzing the policy and institutional adjustments required to address the environmental, social, and
poverty aspects of increased transportation efficiency in Pakistan
• Identifying policy options for the government of Pakistan to better serve the population, to enhance
social cohesion, and to foster equitable benefit sharing with low-income or other vulnerable groups
• Developing a broad participatory process to give a voice to stakeholders who could be affected by
enhancements of freight transport productivity
• Making robust recommendations to strengthen governance and the institutional capacity of agencies to
manage the environmental, social, and poverty consequences of freight transportation infrastructure
The book also presents information on the economic and institutional analyses undergirding this report and
details its methodology.
Greening Growth in Pakistan through Transport Sector Reforms is intended for policy makers, civil society, the
private sector, and academics who wish to participate in dialogues on Pakistan’s trade and transport sectors’
priorities. It is hoped that this report will stimulate debate that steers these sectors and their participants in
the direction of greening economic growth.
