Reducing emissions to pave the way for a sustainable future where GHG emissions are equal to GHG sequestration. Pathways for achieving carbon-neutrality and exploring energy-efficient solutions across various sectors including energy, transportation, agriculture, and construction.
In recent years, there has been a growing focus on electric cars as a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. Governments around the world are offering incentives to encourage consumers to switch to electric cars, and the media is filled with stories about new electric car models and charging infrastructure.
Exploring renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro, H₂) alternatives to fossil fuels to achieve carbon-neutrality goals. Ways to reduce the dependency on conventional fuels and building renewable energy capacity.
Climate change is not a distant threat looming on the horizon! The more destructive storms, deluges, and droughts the world experiences, the more we have this sobering thought: the earth is running out of time to heal and protect itself. If India must do something significant, such as achieving net-zero emissions target by 2070, it has to ramp up efforts in adaptation and mitigation, starting from immediate crisis response to long-term planning.
Understanding the challenges and opportunities with e-Waste and its management across the world. Innovative solutions to reduce, reuse, repurpose and recycle e-waste to generate income and employment.
The rapid pace of technological advancement and the increasing trend of consumerism has led to a growing volume of e-waste worldwide, with a projected amount of 53.6 million metric tons generated in 2019 and expected to rise to 74.7 million metric tons by 2030, according to ‘The Global E-waste Monitor 2020’.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that key Himalayan rivers such as the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra, which are all vital to India, may witness reduced flows as glaciers and ice sheets recede owing to global warming in the coming d...
The NGT has instructed the Gujarat government to set aside Rs 2,100 crore in a separate ring-fenced account for capacity building or the establishment of new sewage treatment facilities, wherever necessary, to cope with the state's rising untreated s...
Modhera Solar Village is located in the Mehsana district of Gujarat, India. It is known for its innovative use of solar power for various applications such as irrigation, cooking, and lighting. The village has been transformed into a model solar-powered village, utilizing a mix of off-grid and on-grid solar systems. The village is also a popular tourist destination, with the Modhera Sun Temple, an 11th-century Hindu temple, being one of the main attractions. Overall, the Modhera Solar Village serves as an important example of how renewable energy can be harnessed to transform rural communities and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Rapid urbanization and growing urban affluence has slowly and steadily broughtforth profound environmental consequences, causing threat to environmental ecosystem as well as global sustainability. The environmental consequences are distinctly visible in rapidly growing Indian cities and urban agglomerations: excessive air pollution, deforestation, worsening water quality, increased carbon footprint owing to fossil fuel-based energy use, problems of waste disposal - are some of the pressing ones.
