The signs of the effects of Climatic Change due to increasing levels of Global Warming are
fast surrounding us – the melting glaciers, rising sea level, increasing disease outbreaks,
vanishing eco-systems, water crisis, heat, cold waves and so on. These Climatic changes that are
being considered as most serious threats to the planet, people’s well-being and the strength of
the economies have become a serious issue that needs to be tackled urgently. It has become
increasingly clear that the world’s poorest countries will be most affected by Climate Change.
There are even examples of such climate changes having affected some small island nations.

A recent release - ‘World Development Report 2010: Development and Climate Change’, by
the World Bank President - Robert B Zoellick points that an increase of 2°C in the global
temperatures would lead to a 4 - 5 % drop in its GDP.

The post industrialization Greenhouse Gas emissions are primarily responsible for the Climate
Change. Although the greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon, the excess
GHG emissions which have originated from anthropological sources are responsible for
Climate Change and Global Warming.

Response to Climate Change, demands local actions backed with global inputs. Mitigation and
adaptation measures must be pursued collectively to tackle the Climate Change. It is believed
that a shift towards a sustainable development pathway along with policy framework,
government intervention and attitudinal change amongst the businesses and common people
will lead to a carbon free environment.

All countries must work together in finding the optimum solution to save our planet from
Climate Change. Dealing with the global warming is the biggest challenge faced by the
countries today and they have to keep their differences aside and work together in order to
bring in the necessary revolution.

Green practices - The need of the hour

Why adopting ‘environment friendly practices’ is so important and how

do they influence the Industry and Commerce worldwide?

Indian Economy is climate sensitive as many industries are dependent on resources which have
become vulnerable due to changing climate.

Corporations across all industries will continue to be subject to increasingly stringent

environmental regulations as well as sustained pressure from customers, employees and
investors to deliver on a triple bottom line of economic, environmental and social
performance.

Businesses have a vital role in implementing technologies that reduce carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions, making increasingly better use of resources in manufacturing processes and creating
better-performing products with ever-lower energy demands is becoming part of normal
business practices as the cost of CO2 emissions rise.

India is gradually passing through a transition to sustainable green future. Need of the hour is
to speedily work on the National Action Plan on Climate Change that focuses on select
missions as key components of the strategy for sustainable development.

A report released by World Bank earlier this year, states that - “…if industries and governments
make the move on climate change now, the impact could still be manageable - failing which, the
effects of climate change could turn out much worse…”

There are risks as well as opportunities related to climate change. It actually pays to be climate
friendly. HSBC Global Research released a study which states that the global revenues from
climate-related businesses such as energy efficiency rose by 75% in 2008 to reach $530 billion
and is expected to exceed $2 trillion by 2020. According to the report - the climate sector has
surpassed the size of the global aerospace or defense industry with the United States, Japan,
France, Germany and Spain accounting for 76% of global climate revenues.

The problem specially ails industrialized and developing nations like ours due to our
dependence on energy intensive manufacturing processes and strains from the demand and
consumption side. India is the world’s fourth largest GHG emitter (after China and the USA).
These emissions are leading to climate change, which in turn is affecting farm output, leading to
drought situations, floods, and irregular crop-cycles and raising the sea level.

Climate change cannot be controlled without a concentrated effort on the part of large
developing countries like China and India. Increased funding would be needed especially from
the private sector to switch over to greener technologies. As the world is increasingly becoming
aware of these issues, there is inquisitiveness towards green technologies, energy efficient
processes, investments and the demand for greener products and services.

Hence, keeping pace with the need of the hour, we present a series of informative and
enlightening events and seminars, all as pro bono initiatives under the “Knowledge.
Information. Awareness. series” (KIA series).

Wastage 2 Conservation-Sustainable Energy
Over the years, there have been tremendous improvements in achieving global energy
efficiency. But these efforts are belittling in the context of the growing world population and
the scale of industrialization. Besides, the currently available technologies for attaining energy
efficiency are not the most economical and effective modes to save and create
new energy.
Energy efficiency is the need of the hour and apart from the major benefit of curbing carbon
emissions, renewable energy also offers lower production costs and conserve supplies and
consumables.
Hundreds of opportunities exist in the industrial sector for efficiency improvement using
standard technologies. They involve standard processes and low-risk technologies such as
replacing outdated boilers, installing more efficient electrical equipment, utilizing waste
heat etc.
Initiating the Energy Efficiency Improvement drive will also provide India with some great
financial benefits. Considering this the Prime Minister’s Council on Climate Change has
approved the National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency. The Mission will enable about
Rs. 75,000 Cr. (approx. $ 15.6 billion) worth transactions in energy efficiency. The most
innovative and challenging new initiative to be introduced under the Mission is the “Perform,
Achieve and Trade” (PAT) mechanism which will assign energy efficiency improvement targets
to the country’s most energy intensive industrial units, with the provision of allowing them to
retain any energy efficiency improvements in excess of their target in the form of Energy
Savings Certificates, called ESCerts. Units will also be allowed to purchase ESCerts to meet
their targets.
To shed light on the subject, we bring to you eminent speakers, specialists, consultants,
manufacturers, financiers, government bodies and certification agencies from various
industries on one platform.

Carbon Profits

Day 2: 14th January, 2010

Black 2 Green-Carbon Profits
Carbon credits are certificates issued to countries that reduce their emission of GHG which
causes global warming. They are generated by enterprises in the developing world that shift to
cleaner technologies and thereby save on energy consumption, consequently reducing their
GHG emissions.
Carbon credits are measured in units of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) each CER is
equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide reduction. Countries with surplus credits can sell the
same to countries with quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments under the
Kyoto Protocol. Developed countries that have exceeded the levels can either cut down
emissions, or borrow or buy carbon credits from developing countries. The certificates are sold
to entities in rich countries, like power utilities, which have emission reduction targets to
achieve and find it cheaper to buy 'offsetting' certificates rather than do a clean-up in their own
backyard. This trade is carried out under an UN-mandated international convention on climate
change to help rich countries reduce their emissions.
To spread knowledge on the subject, we have dedicated a summit on Carbon Credits and
Carbon Credit Trading.

Day 3: 15th January, 2010

Farm 2 Fashion -Green Textiles
The textile industry has historically been of paramount importance to the economy of our
country. It accounts to approximately 32 % of our total exports. Unlike other industrial
disciplines like Civil, Mechanical, Electronics etc., the processes involved in the manufacturing
of textile have a significant adverse effect on the environment, and hence need to be
considered explicitly.
In recent years, different approaches like clean technology, eco-mark and green chemistry have
been taken into consideration to tackle man made environmental hazards. One such prominent
application of green technology is the manufacturing and usage of organic cotton and its
green products.
Adoption of organic cotton as a tool for going green does not require a complete overhaul of
existing technologies, and practices. In fact, successful cultivation and processing of organic
cotton and garments only require willingness to follow certain cultivation and processing
guidelines. Organic cotton uses natural dyes for its printing and dyeing to retain itself as a green
product. The cultivation are devoid of any fertilizers and pesticides and require a 5 years period
to be ready for harvesting.
Out of the various activities in the textile industry, chemical processing contributes to about
70 % of the pollution. Cotton mills consume large volumes of water for the chemical
processing, dyeing, printing and finishing. The effluent generated in different steps is often
highly polluted and well beyond the acceptable standards.
The industry also contributes adversely to global warming by way of carbon emissions. The
textile manufacturing process comprises of various intermittent processes like spinning,
weaving, wet processing and garmenting hence, special attention needs to be paid to this issue.
Over the years, various associations and industry bodies have been instrumental in fostering
awareness and promoting made-ups of organic cotton. Even the Govt. of India has taken huge
initiatives by introducing the schemes like The TUF scheme, 20 % C.L.S etc for implementing
modernization of textile machineries to small and large units However, so far the results are yet
to be seen as the industry faces a challenge of disintegrated nature, high manufacturing costs,
and low marketability.
In light of such challenging scenario this holistic summit will address the business
opportunities, environmental operations and the economical aspects of Indian textiles
