    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Pakistan initiated the Technical Cooperation Programme on Remote Sensing for Spatio-Temporal mapping of Smog (R-SMOG)   upon the request of the Government of Punjab. The R-SMOG evaluates the relationship between Smog and the rice residue burning practices by farmers in the Rice belt of Punjab. It is a comprehensive geospatial research which integrates Spatio-temporal mapping of smog viz-a-viz climatological modelling, study of seasonal trends and dynamics and estimates an inventory of sectoral emissions. The findings of the R-SMOG will assist to generate scientific evidences to study the causes of Smog in Punjab and to adopt adequate mitigation and adaptation strategies.

    This policy brief presents the findings from a study conducted by the Punjab Economic Research Institute (PERI), with the support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The objective is to analyze the causal relationship between gender roles and vulnerabilities, with a focus on women's work burden, and their effects on child labour in agriculture in Multan, Bahawalpur and Vehari districts, in the Punjab Province of Pakistan. The findings informed the design for the FAO component under the European Union funded CLEAR Cotton project. FAO's intervention centred on strengthening livelihoods of cotton producing households, through the provision of technical and life skills trainings for beneficiaries, to foster investments in children's education.
