Dealing with Climate Change: India's Dilemma - Prof. J. Srinivasan Chairman, Divecha Centre For Climate Change

 

ABSTRACT:
India contributes about 5% to global CO2 emissions and hence trajectory of India's CO2 emissions in the next 20 years will have little impact on global warming. Global warming may, however, bring about adverse impact on India’s climate. In this talk I will discuss the challenges that we face in predicting climate change at regional scales that is relevant to policy makers. I will also discuss India’s ambitious program to promote renewable energy to combat climate change and its ramifications.

Initiating Offshore Wind Projects in India, by Mr. Malolan R Cadambi Managing Director Greenshore Energy Pvt. Ltd.

Abstract:

With a long coastline of 7516 kms, and EEZ of 2.3 million sq kms, offshore wind potential is yet to be tapped in India. Due to increasing technological maturity of offshore wind turbines and also maturity of project finance for offshore wind, India should initiate offshore wind projects. Existing policies in the form of Article 297 of the Constitution and the MZI Act, 1976 serve as a readily available legal sanction for permitting offshore wind projects.
