Climate change is the result of increased greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic activities and the debate weather it is real or not, is long over. The current generation is witnessing the climate change impacts in terms of increased flooding, sea level rise, heat and dry islands and so on. It is high time we reciprocate and rethink to understand what went wrong, since we are facing impacts from all directions: Locusts in air, corona on ground and earthquakes sub surface are to name a few! These impacts have clearly shown that there is an urgent need to take focussed action!
The world leaders committed to reduce the GHG emissions under Kyoto protocol, however, the G-20 nations, being the largest polluters, are falling short on their commitments. The revised action plan has been decided in Glasgow during COP26, under the “Glasgow Climate Pact” but the current trajectory of GHG emissions is far off the 1.5 deg C target, and is heading towards 2-3.5 deg C devastated world! The need for urgent action is already here, remember that we have “Only ONE Earth”

To address these hard pressing issues, ICCSA foundation has planned a series of brainstorming sessions under the aegis of “Climate Goals: Technological Roadmap to Net Zero”, which is focussed on mapping GHGs including methane emissions from five important sectors in India including Oil & Gas, Transportation, Coal Mining and Coal bed, Agriculture & Livestock and Landfills & Waste. The event series will be organised from September 2022 to April 2023 in different parts of the country focussing on theme and sector-oriented discussions in-line with India’s latest 2022 commitment to reduce emissions intensity by 45% by 2030, from 2005 levels, and recently taken a strong stand to become “Net Zero” by 2070. The series of events will be organised in association with knowledge and implementation partners like CSIR-INDIA, AIILSG, IIM AHMEDABAD, IIT GUWAHATI, IIT BHUBANESHWAR IIT BOMBAY, CII, SERI
The outcome of the events will help to develop a roadmap on key strategies and action plan to mitigate GHGs including methane emissions. With this, we invite you all to be part of this journey as partners, advisors, technology providers, communicators and be the change maker.
Discussion Points:
The Climate Goals : Technological Roadmap to Net Zero series of event proposes to offer a high-level brain storming sessions on GHGs including methane emissions from different sectors
Latest studies, policies developments and novel technologies for monitoring fugitive GHGs emissions including leak detection, identification, quantification and long-term monitoring
Prioritization of activities for targeting sector specific plan around mitigating GHGs emissions
Identifying solution strategies for India on GHGs emissions
Key benefits to India through GHGs emission control including climate contributions
Global trends of GHGs emissions, worldwide status and Indian scenario
Strategy for reducing short lived climate pollutants from the targeted sector in India
Emission verification and reduction initiatives
Capabilities, challenges and emerging technologies for monitoring and control of GHGs
EXPECTED TAKEAWAYS
Awareness on GHGs including methane emission, by highlighting short term and long-term impacts to policymakers
Sector-specific directions for India on GHGs emissions with an action plan.
The importance of emission detection and measurement in responsible sectors, as well as developing long-term strategies that shall focus on de-carbonization
Challenges and opportunities in research and development, demonstration, and deployment of technologies in GHGs detection and mitigations in responsible sectors.
The findings that will describe the overall strategy for reducing GHGs emissions across the sectors.
Access to Nobel Laureates, Ministry personnel, Industry leaders of different sectors from across the India
Opportunities for joint ventures, technology development and funding for GHGs mitigation strategies.
