(10) Greening of Industrial Processes (صنعتی عمل کو سبز بنانا) –
صنعتی عمل کو Green (ماحولیاتی دوستانہ) بنایا جا سکتا ہے اگر نئی صنعتوں پر یہ لازم کر دیا جائے کہ وہ ایسے Plants (پلانٹس)، Machinery (مشینری) اور Processes (عملیات) استعمال کریں جو Environmentally Friendly (ماحولیاتی دوستانہ) ہوں۔Barriers (رکاوٹیں) جو Green Process (سبز عمل) کو اپنانے میں حائل ہیں، ان میں شامل ہیں:
-
Technology (ٹیکنالوجی)
-
Entrepreneurial Capacity (کاروباری صلاحیت)
-
Financing (مالی وسائل)
یہ رکاوٹیں چھوٹے اور درمیانے درجے کی صنعتی یونٹس میں زیادہ واضح ہیں۔
ابتدائی طور پر، Environment Protection (ماحولیاتی تحفظ) اس منصوبے کو محدود تعداد کی صنعتوں پر نافذ کر سکتا ہے۔
(i) Environmental Approvals (ماحولیاتی منظوری) دیتے وقت، Environmental Protection Agency (ماحولیاتی تحفظ ایجنسی) یہ لازمی بنائے گی کہ
اہم آلودگی پیدا کرنے والے ادارے جیسے Cement Manufacturing Plants (سیمنٹ پلانٹس)، Steel Mills (سٹیل ملز) اور Thermal Power Plants (تھرمل پاور پلانٹس)
ایسی ٹیکنالوجیز نصب کریں جو Energy and Resource Efficiencies (توانائی اور وسائل کی کارکردگی) اور Emission Reduction (اخراج میں کمی) کے لحاظ سے مناسب ہوں۔
(ii) Environment Protection Department (ماحولیاتی تحفظ محکمہ) موجودہ صنعتی یونٹس کو Greening (ماحولیاتی دوستانہ بنانے) کے لیے منصوبے تیار اور نافذ کرے گا،
اور ٹیکنالوجی، کاروباری صلاحیت اور مالی رکاوٹوں کو دور کرے گا۔
(11) Regional Environmental Agreement (علاقائی ماحولیاتی معاہدہ) –
چونکہ Smog (اسموگ) ایک Regional Problem (علاقائی مسئلہ) ہے،اس لیے صرف مقامی آلودگی کے ذرائع ختم کرنے سے اس پر مؤثر قابو نہیں پایا جا سکتا۔
اس مسئلے اور دیگر ماحولیاتی مسائل، جیسے Water Bodies Contamination (آبی ذخائر کی آلودگی) جو پنجاب میں مشرقی سرحدوں سے آتی ہیں، کا جامع حل Regional Cooperative Approach (علاقائی تعاون) سے ممکن ہے۔
اس مقصد کے لیے Federal Government (وفاقی حکومت) سے رجوع کیا جائے گا تاکہ Environmental Concerns (ماحولیاتی مسائل) کو Bilateral and Multilateral Dialogues (دوطرفہ اور کثیرالجہتی مذاکرات) میں بھارت اور پاکستان کے درمیان ایجنڈے پر شامل کیا جا سکے۔
اگرچہ یہ عمل سست اور مشکل ہو سکتا ہے،
لیکن پنجاب کے ماحول کو بچانے کا کوئی راستہ Collaborative Agreement (تعاون پر مبنی معاہدہ) کے بغیر نہیں ہے۔
ایک اچھا مثال Regional Environmental Cooperation (علاقائی ماحولیاتی تعاون) کی ہے:
“Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (بین الاقوامی دھند کی آلودگی پر معاہدہ)” جو 2002 میں دس ASEAN Countries (آسیان ممالک) کے درمیان طے پایا۔
Oversight and Coordination for Implementation (عمل درآمد کی نگرانی اور ہم آہنگی) –
Punjab Environmental Protection Council (پنجاب ماحولیاتی تحفظ کونسل) اس پالیسی کے عمل درآمد کی نگرانی کرے گی۔
اس ضمن میں ہم آہنگی کا کام Environment Protection Department (ماحولیاتی تحفظ محکمہ) کرے گا۔
