The overall objective of the project is to reduce energy consumption with consequent reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of industrial sector in India. The specific objective of the project is to identify suitable low carbon energy-efficient technologies that are commercially available in industrialized country, viz.
Nearly 1.3 billion people continue to remain without access to electricity and 2.6 billion do not have access to clean cooking facilities (World Energy Outlook, 2012).
Schoolchildren stay well informed about the importance of energy and its conservation through sources such as books, magazines, television and field visits. However, many of them remain unaware of how they can contribute to the initiative of conservation of resources.
Through this training workshop, TERI has taken the initiative of filling up the existing gap in the knowledge of green and sustainable technologies through offering advanced level training on the same and also creating awareness about various other sustainable technologies. It would be a residential workshop held at the RETREAT.
The increase in demand for energy in response to industrialization, urbanization, and societal affluence has led to considerable fossil fuels burning, which in turn has an adverse impact on the environment. Thus, it is of paramount importance that energy is conserved and efficiently used.
TERI in association with the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung is organizing the fourth in a series of five dialogues on environmental governance for sustainable development focused on different ecosystems of the country.
