SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY: ROLE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Image
SUPPORTING THE GLOBAL SHIFT TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES India is progressively progressing towards a development plan that is both sustainable and inclusive, while also bearing in mind the pressing socioeconomic needs of its billion-strong population. This is consistent with the country's strong commitment to meeting the globally agreed-upon Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Between 2005 and 2016, India achieved significant achievement in decoupling economic development from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reducing the emissions intensity of GDP by 24%. While the emissions intensity of GDP has decreased, absolute emissions have not, resulting in widespread warming and a variety of negative social and ecological effects. According to an IPCC report, a 1.5°C increase in global temperatures relative to pre-industrial levels can result in a disastrous rise in sea levels, disproportionately affect vulnerable groups through negative health consequences, loss of livelihood prospects, and foo

ENVIRONMENTAL TRENDS

Image
INTRODUCTION We continue to monitor new developments and expectations in the investment and regulatory areas as we focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) frameworks. The Russia-Ukraine war raised awareness of energy security in 2022, and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) encouraged meaningful industrial environmental programmes.  ENVIRONMENTAL TRENDS 1) Throughout the economy, numerous carbon reduction measures are ongoing to: Reduce carbon emissions in energy production Develop carbon capture and sequestration technologies. Create a variety of batteries while keeping material limits in mind. Create battery recycling routes. Include small-scale nuclear power. Create hydrogen power sources. Increase your efficiency efforts. Drive more hybrid power plants in vehicles versus pure electric vehicles Even in the absence of a discernible decrease trend in atmospheric carbon, there is still hope for a long-term influence. We may also see increased spending on climate adaptation i

ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS

Image
Environmental ethics is a subfield of ethics that examines how ethics affects the interaction between people and the environment. Environmental ethics holds that both people and other living things, such as plants and animals, are a part of society. These things are thought to be an essential component of daily life and have a significant role in the globe. Therefore, it is crucial that each and every human accept this, honour it, and treat these species with morality and ethics. Environmental ethics is a well-established branch of practical philosophy in environmental philosophy that "reconstructs the fundamental categories of arguments that can be made for safeguarding natural entities and the sustainable use of natural resources." The three main paradigms in conflict are theocentrism, physiocentrism, and anthropocentrism. Environmental law, environmental sociology, ecotheology, ecological economics, ecology, and environmental geography are just a few of the subjects that e

CIA 3 - SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION

Image
INTRODUCTION Amidst the bustling streets of India’s urban centers, the sounds of honking cars and the chatter of pedestrians fill the air. People jostle for space on roads, while sun beats down relentlessly. But as you inhale air, you realize that it is not just the heat that’s suffocating you. Toxic fumes from exhaust pipes, construction sites, and factories fill your lungs. You look around, hoping to find some respite, but all you see are concrete buildings and endless rows of cars. In a city where space is at a premium, there is little room for full-grown trees, which are crucial for improving air quality. But what if there is a solution?The quality of life has been considerably reduced as a result of widespread pollution, especially in metropolitan areas where greenery is scarce or nonexistent. Serbia has developed a novel method to address this issue in the form of liquid trees. The trees, which are situated in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, appear to belong in a science fiction

RESIDUAL WASTE MANAGEMENT

Image
Ways to Reduce Residual Waste on the Environment The management of residual materials is gradually evolving as it is recognised that land-filling these materials is harmful to the environment and public health. The current transition is marked by innovations in equipment and treatment methods, as well as the involvement of citizens and industries in this stake. However, the most common practice in countries is the storage of residual materials in technical landfill sites. Every year, 13 million tonnes of residual materials are produced. The government is implementing awareness-raising measures and tools to assist people and industries in better sorting their residual materials, but far too many consumer products are still recycled into landfills. Because of a lack of effective selective sorting, these materials are frequently contaminated by others. The potential for exploitation in the production of energy and goods associated with these materials, on the other hand, is significant. B

GREEN LIVING

WHY GREEN LIVING IS ESSENTIAL IN TODAY'S WORLD? Almost everyone has grown up hearing about the importance of environmental stewardship. This has recently evolved into a green living movement, and there are few causes more important in the world right now. You may be wondering why green living is so important in today's world. Green living is critical because it reduces our reliance on nonrenewable resources such as energy and fossil fuels. This way of life also reduces the amount of harmful toxins that enter the environment. It is a means of ensuring a more sustainable future for future generations. It is not enough to simply recognize the value of living a green lifestyle. It is even more critical to comprehend the reasons for such an approach to the environment and then take appropriate action. That is why you should keep reading to gain a better understanding of the rationale behind green living and how it can benefit the world now and in the future. We can save water and en
