About "Post Copenhagen: Implications for the Indian Business & Energy Sector" topic:

As we can see that only very limited progress was made at the recent climate change summit at Copenhagen and none was fully satisfied with the outcome, the fact remained that the world had to move to a low greenhouse gas emissions and energy-efficient development path. India should not lag behind in developing science and technology related to both the aspects of mitigation and adaptation. In this topic, let us discuss the strategies to achieve greater energy efficiency and strategies by businesses & energy sector for adapting to such climate change and a shift to renewable sources of energy.....

Muralidharan D  |  Added idea  "Something as serious as the climate issue dont get sorted out in such summits..."  |  2 years ago
The whole perception that the Copenhagen Summit would have led to some dramatic and plausible solutions on the climate change issue is flawed.... Climate Change, carbon emission controls et al have to begin in each home in this world, be it a...

Until the end of this summit, it appeared that all governments wanted to keep the keys to combating climate change within the UN climate convention. But then later on mainly the summit was there was for the big boys, and the main problem in...

10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours. YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits. YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a...
