4. Glimpse of the Presentations
Sustainable Cities
Sustainable cities is talk of the day. What is a sustainable city? What
are the typical “sustainable interventions?” How is the smart city
concept linked to sustainability? What are the national initiatives?
What is the international experience on sustainable cities?
Waste Economy
Reducing waste generation at source through better product design
and ploughing wastes back as a resource is the future. How does the
waste to resource economics work? What are the business models
and case examples? What have been challenges? What are the
examples – national as well as international – on enabling
frameworks?
Green Products and Procurement
One of the important strategies towards sustainability is to design
“green products” and promote “green procurement”. What is a green
product? Who will certify a green product? Are people asking for
green products? Are there green products in Indian market? What
are the international initiatives?
New Models of Environmental & Social
(E&S) Governance
The E&S Governance is changing. Earlier, it was solely driven by
regulations and enforcement, but now we have pressures from
markets, investors and communities. Reporting and disclosures are
getting important. Judicial interventions are also playing a dominant
role. What are the trends in this arena? What are the complexities?
How do we prepare to face this challenge?
Water Management
Water resource in India is under threat affecting humans, ecosystems as
well as business. Water use reduction, conservation and recycling are
some of the strategies to address this challenge. What are the good
examples that demonstrate responsible management of water in industries
and communities? What are the recent technology innovations?
Business and Biodiversity
On a global basis, business is getting now more sensitive towards
protection and conservation of biodiversity. Biodiversity in India is however
getting compromised due to intense development around our eco-sensitive
and fragile areas. What is the national situation on India’s biodiversity
today? Why should business care about biodiversity? Are there any good
examples of responsible leadership in the business?
