Combining environmental education with urban greening efforts, we inspire the next generation and create dense, carbon-capturing forests in our cities to combat climate change
Empowering readers with in-depth insights into climate change, innovative solutions, and sustainable practices to foster informed eco-friendly actions.
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.
Water spans 70% of the Earth, although just 3% is freshwater. Of this, around 2% is trapped in glaciers and ice caps, leaving only 1% available for human consumption. This scarcity is starkly highlighted by the sight of young children going great distances carrying pots of drinking water perched on their heads to satisfy their daily requirements. Water shortage is a growing worldwide issue that affects every continent and country. This severe reality highlights the essential role of water for survival, yet many still struggle to access even the basic amounts needed. According to reports, over 2 billion people are already experiencing water shortages, and by 2025, two-thirds of the world's population is predicted to face similar issues.
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.
The Union Budget for 2024, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on 23rd July 2024, strongly emphasises renewable energy. The government has introduced several measures to boost clean energy development, particularly in the solar, wind, and hydropower sectors. These initiatives aim to achieve India's environmental targets, including achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030 and ensuring that at least 50% of its electricity requirements are met from renewable sources. The long-term impact of this shift is expected to bring considerable benefits to both the environment and the economy.
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.
Have you ever wondered what happens to your old phone or broken laptop after you throw it away? Most of us don’t think about it, but these devices contain harmful chemicals that can damage the environment if not disposed of properly. This growing problem is known as e-waste. In India, it’s becoming a serious issue as more and more people use electronics every day.
A recent study by IPE Global and Esri India paints a gloomy picture of India's climate vulnerability, finding that about 85% of the country's districts are prone to extreme weather occurrences. The data shows a major shift in climate patterns, with r...
Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India's progress in solar energy at the first International Solar Festival in New Delhi, noting a capacity of 14.9 GW and a 32-fold increase over the past decade. The event emphasized global cooperation in sol...
Rapid urbanization and growing urban affluence tend to have profound environmental consequences causing threat to human beings and the environment. Prolonged ignorance of the ecological feedback is affecting every living and non-living element on Earth. The human ecosystem is bearing the brunt in matters of health, city and regional problems, disrupting social structure, economic inequalities as well as global sustainability. Such environmental changes are distinctly visible in rapidly growing Indian cities and urban agglomerations and even rural regions. Excessive land and air pollution, increased carbon footprint owing to fossil fuel-based energy use, deforestation, depleting water quality, problems of electronic waste disposal, declining population of flora and fauna – to name a few.
