“Sustainability” is essentially just a euphemism for “survival.” In plain English, when our situation is “unsustainable,” that means that we must "change or die".
What is it that the human race must change, in order to survive? This is an answer that we all seek.
The World has always been a fascinating place with its mysteries yet to be unfolded; why things happen the way we see it, how did we reach here and where are we heading to? My casual interest and inquisitiveness took the shape of serious inquiry, study and over time made me discover an interest in Sustainability, Green technologies, environmental issues, policies and initiatives by the world communities.
I have been fortunate to have an opportunity to work closely with people and places at remote areas, travel and study widely across the World as part of my 23 years in the Army Engineers and then more than 14 years with the leading Green Energy companies. I have developed a close understanding of the issues and complexities related to environment and green technologies specially in Solar and Wind energy. My education at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and Cranfield University in UK helped me greatly to expand my horizon, meeting new people from diverse culture and backgrounds.
This series of posts is aimed to share my insights into this interesting and fascinating World of Sustainability with you and encourage you to participate in this revolution (in fact we have no choice). I want you all to join me in these discussions and debates on what we are doing, what we should be doing so that we can save the Earth for our Children and Grandchildren.
I cover a wide ranging topic from basics of Sustainability, Geopolitics around the subject, Carbon Neutrality and Net Zero, Road map to Net Zero and technologies, facts and data analysis, where is India on this journey, our policy framework facilitating this path, areas to focus on and work to make the journey faster and more effective etc. Also answered some very insightful questions by the bright and smart students of IIFT Kolkata.
Is it surprising that the human race in the last 40 years has consumed more resources than in the last 10000 years of evolution? Well it's time to bring a change.
Together We can save the Earth...
Isn't it surprising that 11 of the warmest years in the history of mankind have occurred in the last 12 years. The ecology of earth is so sensitive that a small 1 degree change in the average atmospheric temperature can have cataclysmic impact on the survival of the mankind and Earth that we are used to live in.
By 2050 it estimated that we will add another 2.3 Billion more mouths to feed, that is almost another half world. Even we any stretch of imagination, efforts and human innovation it simply impossible to support this burden. We are already seeing the effect of the stress.
Did we know that only 2% of the Water on this planet is fresh water that can be consumed by living beings and 90% of it is in Antarctica.
As per available data 780 Million People do not have access to clean water and 2.5 Billion to adequate sanitation.
India has 16% of World population with only 4% of fresh water! A scary situation indeed when we know that icecaps are melting.
