Climate Change

One of the measures to achieve net-zero emissions and sustainability lies in transitioning from conventional energy sources to renewable and green energy alternatives. This article focuses on the transition process for businesses. It delves into the entire life cycle of this transition, encompassing regulatory frameworks, strategies, and the requisite consideration of investments needed to facilitate this shift towards a more sustainable future.

London Science Museum’s newest exhibit is focused on energy transition and renewable energy. The gallery showcases how the world can generate and use energy more sustainably, highlighting technologies and projects from the UK and abroad. Adani Green Energy is the gallery’s title sponsor.

Green credits and green loyalty programs represent a burgeoning movement towards sustainability that transcends traditional environmental activism. They embody a partnership between businesses and consumers, where every green choice is celebrated and rewarded.

Green Climate Fund (GCF) has approved a $24.5 million investment in Avaana Capital’s Climate and Sustainability Fund for technology-driven climate solutions.

Emerging technologies are enabling transparency, speed, and affordability across climate mitigation. Blockchain platforms like Poseidon impart radical transparency regarding carbon credits’ origins and impacts, resolving offset greenwashing issues.

The biggest question for the transition from the conventional practice of electricity generation to 100% eco-clean renewable energy resources is, can we maintain the electricity grid stable every minute of every day? The answer is clearly YES, and it is practical.

With solar taking a more significant portion of the energy and power mix, climate change can be significantly mitigated. Coal, for instance, is one of the dirtiest fuels, but makes up 70% of India’s power generation.

To scale the adoption of clean technologies in rural areas, we need to focus more on leveraging the experience of early women adopters. We should organise hyperlocal events and demos – create spaces for women to network and become aware.

The Indian carbon credit system, operating under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), stands ahead in several aspects.

When one company captures a unit of carbon from the atmosphere using some green technology (this process is called carbon sequestration), it can generate a carbon offset. Other companies can then purchase that carbon offset to reduce their carbon footprint.
