RAWALPINDI: A greener and more climate-resilient Rawalpindi begins with communities taking action.
At Railways Officers Colony, Rawalpindi, Shehersaaz facilitated a community-driven plantation campaign that resulted in 110 plants being planted, turning local participation into tangible environmental action.

The initiative goes beyond tree plantation. It reflects Shehersaaz’s efforts to encourage communities to take an active role in addressing climate change by promoting environmental responsibility, climate adaptability and collective resilience at the neighbourhood level.
The campaign is rooted in the principle that sustainable change is strongest when communities are not merely beneficiaries, but active participants and owners of solutions.

Through community-led initiatives, Shehersaaz continues to support greener, more environmentally conscious neighbourhoods that are better equipped to respond to the growing impacts of climate change.

One community. 110 trees. A growing culture of climate action.
