## Practices

* Engage in active advocacy for the inclusion of environmental impact assessments in DPI projects by organizing awareness campaigns and public forums.
* Collaborate with environmental experts to create guidelines that highlight the importance of aligning with NDCs and promoting carbon neutrality.
* Monitor and report on the adoption of green technologies and practices within DPI initiatives, and use this data to lobby for stronger regulations and incentives for sustainable practices.
