WHY WAS

CLIMATE-RESPONSIVE TECHNOLOGIESNEEDED?

Climate change is the most serious challenge

human society has ever faced and everybody including business houses has already realized the gravity of the issue.

With the ‘save environment’ actions gaining momentum among common people, it is now high time to explore novel technologies and share knowledge among the stakeholders.

Technology is deemed to be the most essential component of strategies to mitigate climate change.

WHAT IS INCLUSIVE

GROWTH?

Inclusive growth is a strategy where the growth

will be achieved through certain instrumentalities so that the benefits reach the largest section of the society and that the maximum number of people are able to derive benefits from the developmental projects.

WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE

DEVELOPMENT?

It is a pattern of economic growth in which

resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment.

The term 'sustainable development' was used by the Brundtland Commission.

The concept of sustainable development was originally synonymous with that of sustainability and is often still used in that way. Both terms derive from the older forestry term "sustained yield", which in turn is a translation of the German term "nachhaltiger Ertrag" dating from 1713.

Sustainable development

But there is a big question mark – whether Inclusive Growth can be attained without compromising

Sustainable Development?

In a developing country like India, inclusive growth means more and more governmental schemes and support to attain the desired rate of economic and human development.

The challenge in our country is To foster economic growth, Wealth distribution, Development of the underprivileged and the

deprived section of the society by way of providing education for all,

Increasing agricultural production, Adopting suitable post-harvest technologies and Industrial development.

Growth of industry and agriculture will

undoubtedly uplift the GDP of the country and GDP is directly linked with carbon emission.

A higher GDP leads to larger disposable income and higher living standard of people, who will be more and more dependent on energy intensive gadgets and machinery and which in turn will increase the total emission of the country.
