Climate Change
“How it happens and how it affects us” On July 8, 2010, SPO Lahore arranged a dialogue for change of Lahore region. Mr. Salman Abid, Regional head SPO Lahore, warmly welcomed the honorable speaker (Naseer Memon) and the participants. Mr. Naseer Memon a famous intellectual and chief executive of SPO, provided thought provoking ideas about the topic. In this dialogue the members of civil society, political parties, students of gender studies, political science and sociology department from Punjab university and Lahore college university participated . He briefed the audience regarding basic issues of climate change and informed that Climate is an average of weather over a “long” time. Earth’s climate varies naturally, because of a variety of geological processes. “Climate change” refers to an additional, and relatively rapid, change induced by human actions. The Green House Effect The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals. Most greenhouses look like a small glass house. Greenhouses are used to grow plants, especially in the winter. Greenhouses work by trapping heat from the sun. The glass panels of the greenhouse let in light but keep heat from escaping. This causes the greenhouse to heat up, much like the inside of a car parked in sunlight, and keeps the plants warm enough to live in the winter. The Earth’s atmosphere is all around us. It is the air that we breathe. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere behave much like the glass panes in a greenhouse. Sunlight enters the Earth’s atmosphere, passing through the blanket of greenhouse gases. As it reaches the Earth’s surface, land, water, and biosphere absorb the sunlight’s energy. Once absorbed, this energy is sent back into the atmosphere. Some of the energy passes back into space, but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases, causing our world to heat up. Green House Gases These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely. When sunlight strikes the earth’s surface, some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation (heat). Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Over time, the amount of energy sent from the sun to the earth’s surface should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back into space, leaving the temperature of the earth’s surface roughly constant. Many gases exhibit these “greenhouse” properties. Some of them occur in nature, while others are exclusively human-made (like gases used for aerosols). Because of human activities CFCs are increasing in the air and that’s why climate trends are changing. Human activities have changed the composition of the atmosphere since the pre- industrial eraHe said that long term fluctuation in weather patterns could have extreme impacts on agriculture production slashing crop yield and forcing farmers to adopt new agriculture practices in response to altered conditions The water cycle is the major factor to change the climate. He further inform the audience regarding projections of IPCC for South Asia like Indus river inflows will decrease by 27% by the year 2050, land degradation will cause land to shrink from present 0.8 ha per capita to 0.3 by 2010, areas in mid and high latitudes will experience increase in crop yield whereas in lower latitudes will experience a general decrease and under elevated CO2 conditions .He also told about Vulnerabilities like • Drought due to less precipitation • Pressure on ground water aquifers • Salinity and water logging due to extreme summers • Cyclones in coastal areas • Sea level rise in coastal area • This results in loss of lives and livelihood Global warming is a very serious issue. The future would be very terrible if we do not take any action to reduce it right away. We need to control global warming to reduce the future risk.1) Start from your home by using least utilities of heat, water, and electricity.2) Apply 3 R of Reduction, Recycle, and Reuse.3) Try to drive a smaller engine car.4) Try taking buses or taking all walks able short distance trips.5) Try to use least plastic bags or reusable bags if possible.6) Try to use less detergents, soaps, or cleaning chemicals.7) Try to sell your accumulated newspapers and cardboard boxes and bottles to local recycling agent to keep the environment clean.8) keep your garbage container clean every day. 9) Boycott and prevent any energy dealers selling unclean fuels or environmental unfriendly chemicals. He believed that we should be concerned about climate change. While there is undisputed evidence that there have been climate changes in the past, which had natural causes and, evidently, corrected themselves, there is just as much evidence that today’s situation is caused by man. Climate change has begun to reach a point at which it is having a negative impact, not only on meteorology and ecosystems, but on a human scale. Industrialized countries and cultures are causing a negative effect elsewhere in the world and both politicians and their people should make an effort to change socioeconomic practices in order to lower their impacts on our environment. In the end Naseer Memon said that he thought that the effects of climate change could be lessened and that it is our responsibility to our planet to make sure that climate change is not allowed to continue at its present rate. At the end of the presentation a movie “Day After Tomorrow” which deals with the topic climate change was shown to participants. In the
Networking Meeting With Women Parliamentarians
The role of women parliamentarians is considered critical not only in terms of raising issues and concerns of women at policy level, but also it is critical in ensuring that women gain equitable access to resources, knowledge and institutions. Their meaningful role can make an impact in changing the nature of politics from the present patriarchal and masculine complexion to a more democratic and feminine outlook by mainstreaming gender perspectives into civil and political discourse, performing a key role in law-making and approval of budgets, participating in discussions on specific issues and directly influencing policies and programmes in favor of women. Keeping in view of women parliamentarian’s vital role, Strengthening Participatory Organisation (SPO) Peshawar arranged a day long networking meeting with women parliamentarians on June 25, 2010. The meeting was attended by 30 participants including 12 women parliamentarians from ANP, PPP (P), PPP(S), PML (N), JI and JUI. Objectives of meeting were:• To highlight the main challenges faced by the women in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa• To assess the current role of women parliamentarians role in solving these issues• Key discussions to reflect a way forward drawing on their knowledge & experience• To create and strengthen linkages among women parliamentarians for women development irrespective of party affiliations in Khyber Pukhtoon Khwa The meeting started with recitation of Holly Quran followed by a round of introduction. Zuhra, MER specialist gave an overview of SPO work in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with its Vision & Mission and major activities. Arshad Haroon, Regional Head shared the meetings objectives and highlighted the importance of women parliamentarian’s role in lobbying/advocacy on key issues affecting the lives of women of Khyber Pukhtookhwa. He gave the ownership of this meeting to parliamentarians by saying that SPO provided an opportunity to them for getting together and formulating an action plan to address women issues in Pukhtoon Khwa legislative assembly. Mrs. Sitara Ayaz, Minister for women development and social welfare, welcomed the initiative taken by SPO Peshawar. She further shared that we all were working on women issues irrespective of party affiliation. She said last year no significant legislation has been made to change women status, because ANP government was busy in IDPs issue. She mentioned that we had to make a women caucus like in national assembly. She informed that an inter-ministerial group of all women ministers existed but we also needed such a platform for women MPAs at provincial level. She informed that a provincial commission on status of women has also been formed recently, but still more guidance and capacity building of this commission is needed and CSOs can play their role. Ms. Nasreen Khattak, ex-MPA (PPP-S), said that affirmative action for the reservation of seats for women at the grassroots and at the macro level contributed to transforming the political culture for women in Pakistan, though women legislators appear to be handicapped in their endeavors in several ways. One obvious reason for this is the indirect nomination system for election to secure reserved seats. It deprives them of the opportunity to deal directly with the electorate and hampers their entry into mainstream politics. Women’s representation should not be limited to ‘quotas through nominations’. The sooner women develop their own constituencies through an established mechanism the more progress they will make. There is an urgent need for political parties to introduce internal party quotas for women either voluntarily or the state should make it mandatory through an amendment in the law. The opening session was followed by an open discussion on women issues and women parliamentarians’ role in solving these issues: Education:MPAs from MMA & PML (N) shared openly that when they present a bill and resolution in assembly, it is kept on a side and they are instructed to keep silence. Women MPAs are given no power in legislation and development fund allocation for local constituencies. They were of view that education system should be gender sensitive and 10% quota should be fixed for women in jobs in education sector. They also felt the need of affirmative action for educated middle class women especially in employment. They linked women MPAs empowerment with party support. Nargis Semeen from PML (N) opined that the manifesto of political party should be gender sensitive. Health:Women MPAs favored women staff appointments in hospitals in sections such as ECCG, X-rays and clerk section in order to make it more accessible by women patients. Tabasum from ANP shared that planning and research is needed for bringing some issues on the assembly floor. She requested SPO to support MPAs in this regard. Economics:Women face lack of social protection, restriction on mobility, sexual harassment at workplaces, low daily wages as compared to men, low quality education, gender biasness in top level allocation, inheritance deprivation, lack of opportunities and ineffective government policies implementation. MPAs were of view that women issues can also be solved by creating income generating opportunities at grass root level. They stressed that other project like Bacha Khan Khud Rozgar scheme should be introduced but again all the focus should be on women development rather than benefiting few party workers. Way forward:• Women parliamentarians recommended a need of a women parliamentarian forum for solidarity on women issues across party lines.• Exposure visit of the members of this forum is needed to other provinces for sharing experiences among women parliamentarians.• Capacity building of women parliamentarians for bills/resolution drafting and legislation process.• Research and planning support is needed by women parliamentarians to identify, advocate and move resolution/bill on assembly floor more affectively.• Confidence building workshops is also needed with party leadership and women parliamentarians in order to gather back up support and to bridge the gaps between party leaderships and women MPAs.• Affirmative actions should be taken regarding women issues on local, provincial & federal level.• Gender gaps should be tackled by making party manifesto and leadership gender sensitive.• Empowerment of women by having a strong and live women MPAs forum and using it for women development• Planning & analysis for bill presenting is needed followed by
