A project was recently implemented in Pakistan that resulted in a significant improvement in the energy efficiency of a public facility. The Raziuddin Siddiqui Memorial Library in Islamabad, known for its collection of over two million books, CDs and DVDs, is now also noted for its commitment to energy efficiency.
The library replaced all the pipes on the ground floor with energy-saving LEDs. This move has led to a reduction in energy consumption for lighting by approximately 75 percent, while simultaneously improving lighting quality and reducing costs.
LEDs consume only a quarter of the energy compared to the previous system. This initiative is part of a wider effort by governmental and non-governmental organizations to encourage the use of more energy-efficient and high-quality lighting solutions, according to the UNEP website.

This project is of particular importance in the context of the energy situation in Pakistan, which relies on diverse energy sources and faces energy deficits, especially during the summer months, considering that the country has a population of over 231 million.
Besides this project, Pakistan implemented another large-scale initiative called “Billion Tree Tsunami”, a project launched ten years ago whose goal is to plant a billion trees. This project exceeded its goals, with the project resulting in planting of over one billion trees thanks to which 350,000 hectares of forest land were restored. This initiative has gained global recognition as a successful example of combating climate change through forest restoration.
