Abstract
The study aims to gauge people’s perception about environmental issues and their impact on their daily lives. Therefore, to find out “If environment is a determinant for people to vote?” a short questionnaire consisting of 10 close ended questions was developed for a survey. The results of the survey were outrageous since about 91 per cent of the respondents think that high temperature is a key environmental issue, followed by 87 percent considering water shortage to be one of the key environmental issues. Thus only 13 per cent of the respondents were willing to vote keeping environment as a determinant. It shows that although environment is considered a key issue of the country but still it is not regarded as a priority issue that needs to be addressed urgently. The study was assisted by Henrich Boll Stiftung (hbs) and conducted under the project titled: ‘Pakistan Environment Barometer 2018’.

Managing Knowledge in Project Environments
Serrat, Olivier (Asian Development Bank, 2012-04-01)Projects ought to be vehicles for both practical benefits and organizational learning.
