Major sources of GHG emissions are the extraction and burning of fossil fuels, decaying solid waste, and agriculture practices. These emissions need to be reduced by 45% by 2030 for keeping the temperatures below 1.5\u00b0C. Methane is one of the main constituents of GHGs and has important implications for climate change, particularly in the near term. It has a much shorter atmospheric lifetime than CO and contributes 2 about one-third of the current anthropogenic GHG &#8211; driven warming. In addition to its climate impacts, methane also affects air quality because it is an ingredient in the formation of ground-level (tropospheric) ozone, a dangerous air pollutant. With action on climate change becoming increasingly time-sensitive, limiting methane offers an extremely important opportunity to achieve rapid results along with other GHGs.<\/p>\n[gap height=&#8221;25px&#8221;]\n\n[ux_banner height=&#8221;550px&#8221; height__sm=&#8221;99.99%&#8221; bg=&#8221;997&#8243; bg_color=&#8221;rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)&#8221;]\n\n\n[\/ux_banner]\n\n[\/col]\n[col span=&#8221;6&#8243; span__sm=&#8221;12&#8243;]\n\n[ux_banner height=&#8221;550px&#8221; height__sm=&#8221;99.99%&#8221; bg=&#8221;996&#8243; bg_color=&#8221;rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)&#8221;]\n\n\n[\/ux_banner]\n[gap]\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">India stands committed to reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45 percent by 2030 as compared to 2005 levels, recently India has taken a strong stand to become a &#8220;NetZero&#8221; country by 2070. With such ambitious targets, there is a need to have a focused discussion on GHG emissions, sources, mitigation strategies, technological availability and deployment, and so on and methane may be a good starting point along with CO2 emissions. Given the above need, ICCSA Foundation has planned a series of brainstorming sessions, across the country, focusing on four major sources of GHG emissions as Oil and Gas, Agriculture and Livestock, Coal and Coal Bed, Transportation, and Solid Waste. This series was unveiled by the hands of Hon&#8217;ble Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari ji, on 20th September 2022 in New Delhi under the banner of Climate Goals: Technological Roadmap to Net Zero. In continuation to the above, it is proposed to have a 1-day brainstorming session at IIT Guwahati on Agriculture and Livestock Sector.<\/p>\n\n[\/col]\n\n[\/row]\n\n[\/section]\n[section label=&#8221;Banner Image&#8221; bg=&#8221;1002&#8243; bg_size=&#8221;original&#8221; bg_pos=&#8221;59% 90%&#8221; height=&#8221;325px&#8221; height__sm=&#8221;250px&#8221;]\n\n\n[\/section]\n[section label=&#8221;About Text&#8221;]\n\n[row]\n\n[col span__sm=&#8221;12&#8243; span__md=&#8221;8&#8243;]\n\n[ux_text font_size=&#8221;1.75&#8243; line_height__md=&#8221;1.25&#8243; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221;]\n\n<h3><span style=\"color:#ff5152\">Focus Area:<\/span> Agriculture And Livestock<\/h3>\n[\/ux_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Increased greenhouse gas emissions have changed the global ambient temperature and harmed global climatic conditions. GHG emissions from the agriculture and livestock sector have also contributed significantly to climate change. Agriculture accounts for 40-46 % of worldwide methane emissions, and these emissions are expected to rise by 40% by 2050 due to growing food production. Agriculture is the world&#8217;s leading source of anthropogenic methane. Manure and gastroenteric leaks from livestock account for around 32% of all human-caused methane emissions (Searching, 2021). Methane emissions from paddy cultivation and livestock accounted for 8% and 32% respectively of the total emissions from the sector. The increasing demand for animal protein and the growing population will increase emissions by up to 70% by 2050 (UNEP-2021). Methane is also produced and emitted from the decomposition of livestock manure and the organic components in agro-industrial wastewater. Globally, manure management alone contributed an estimated 237 MMTCO e of methane emissions in 2 2010, roughly 4% of total anthropogenic (human-induced) methane emissions (GMI report, 2011).<\/p>\n<p>In India, the majority of agricultural GHG emissions occur at the primary production stage and are generated through the production and use of agricultural inputs, livestock handling and management, farm machinery, soil disturbance, residue management, and irrigation. The total GHGs emission from Indian livestock alone is estimated at 247.2 Mt in terms of CO equivalent emissions. Although the Indian 2 livestock contributes substantially to the methane budget, the per capita emission is only 24.23 kg CH\/animal\/year (Chabbra et al., 2012). Having said that, it is important to 4 note that these emissions are \u201cSurvival Emissions\u201d for the country and are needed for growth and development. Given the above, the sector needs dedicated attention from a balanced point of view so that the emissions can be curtailed without hampering the development of the country. This forms the core of the proposed brainstorming session.<\/p>\n\n[\/col]\n\n[\/row]\n\n[\/section]\n[section label=&#8221;Text Block&#8221; bg=&#8221;1007&#8243; bg_overlay=&#8221;rgba(13, 94, 56, 0.616)&#8221;
