Environmental Sustainability by Dr. Vinayak Chavan.pptxvinayak665840
The document discusses environmental sustainability, carbon footprints, and carbon sequestration. It defines key terms like sustainable development, environmental sustainability, carbon footprint, and carbon sequestration. It discusses how carbon footprints can be reduced through strategies like using renewable energy, public transportation, waste reduction, and carbon offsetting. Reducing carbon footprints is important for mitigating climate change and protecting the environment.
The document discusses several basic environmental problems including climate change, air and water pollution, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, land degradation, ocean acidification, waste generation, resource depletion, and habitat destruction. Addressing these issues requires concerted global efforts such as conservation, sustainable resource management, clean energy transition, waste reduction, and environmental policies.
- Environmental economics developed in the 1960s due to increased pollution and environmental awareness. It is a subfield of economics concerned with environmental issues and market failures related to pollution, natural resources, and their effects on the economy.
- There is an interdependence between the economy and environment as the environment supplies natural resources and amenities to the economy, and the economy affects the environment through production waste and emissions. Often there is a trade-off between economic production and environmental quality.
- Environmental policy and economics aim to manage this relationship and address market failures through approaches like pollution taxes or permits to balance environmental and economic goals.
Sustainability, Green Technologies & Eco CitiesLeeniOr
Cities are reducing their environmental impact through various green technologies and sustainable practices. This includes making buildings more energy efficient, improving public transit systems, expanding green spaces, and transforming to renewable energy sources. Green roofs and banning single-use plastics are also strategies that cities are using. Modern waste management systems that capture methane from landfills and sending zero waste to landfills by certain deadlines are further ways that cities are becoming more sustainable.
1. The document discusses the multidisciplinary nature of environmental studies, including its scope and importance.
2. It covers the key components of the environment, as well as the various disciplines that contribute to environmental science like biology, physics, social sciences, and more.
3. Sustainable development is introduced as development that meets current needs without compromising future generations, balancing economic, environmental and social factors.
This document discusses the concepts of sustainable development and circular economy. It provides definitions of sustainable development as seeking to balance environmental protection, social well-being, and economic development. Circular economy is defined as an economic model aimed at eliminating waste through designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. The document outlines some key principles and sectors of a circular economy, including renewable energy, agriculture, tourism, and chemicals, and emphasizes the role of governance, institutions, technology, and civil society in enabling the transition.

The sun is the ultimate source of renewable energy for our planet, powering everything from plant growth to solar panels. Here's some information about the sun and its connection to renewable energy:
The Sun as a Powerhouse:
Massive energy output: The sun generates a vast amount of energy through nuclear fusion in its core, emitting 173 petawatts of energy towards Earth every second. Only a tiny fraction of this reaches the planet, yet it's enough to support all life and drive various renewable energy sources.
Radiant energy: The sun's energy reaches Earth as electromagnetic radiation, mainly in the form of visible light and infrared heat. We harness this radiation through various technologies like solar panels and solar thermal collectors.
Types of Renewable Energy from the Sun:
Solar photovoltaic (PV): Sunlight directly converts into electricity using solar cells in panels. This is the most common solar technology, used for homes, businesses, and large-scale power plants.
Solar thermal: Sunlight is absorbed to heat water or other fluids, providing hot water, space heating, or even powering turbines for electricity generation.
Concentrated solar power (CSP): Mirrors focus sunlight onto a receiver to generate high temperatures for electricity production or industrial processes.
Biomass: Plants grow using photosynthesis, which captures solar energy into their tissues. Burning or processing biomass can generate electricity, fuel, or heat.
Wind energy: Solar energy indirectly powers wind currents, which can be harnessed by wind turbines to generate electricity.
Benefits of Solar Energy:
Renewable and sustainable: Unlike fossil fuels, the sun's energy is constantly replenished and emits minimal greenhouse gases.
Abundant and widespread: Sunlight is available in most parts of the world, making it a decentralized and accessible energy source.
Technological advancements: Solar technologies are constantly improving in efficiency and affordability, making them increasingly competitive with traditional energy sources.
Challenges and Future of Solar Energy:
Intermittency: Sunlight depends on day/night cycles and weather conditions, requiring energy storage solutions for consistent power supply.
Infrastructure cost: Initial investment in solar panels and equipment can be high, although costs are decreasing steadily.
Grid integration: Integrating large-scale solar power into existing electricity grids requires upgrades and smart management solutions.
Overall, the sun holds immense potential for meeting our energy needs in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. With continued technological advancements and efficient integration, solar energy can play a central role in transitioning to a clean energy future.
This PPT is about Environmental ethics, engineering, ecology and economics of environmental ethics. Sustainable development, Our common future, Government role in maintaining environment, market mechanisms for sustainable environment, communities and environment, social activism.

Importance of Environmental Education
Man's rapid consumption of natural resources and energy has led to a disregard for the environment. He has become a super animal, creating favorable environments for his own welfare. However, this imbalance has long-term consequences, creating problems for future generations. Activities like deforestation, industrialization, urbanization, and chemical fertilizers contribute to environmental change. Industrial growth has increased CO2 content, leading to global warming and melting polar ice, potentially affecting low-lying lands.
Climatic changes, air pollution, and acid rains due to industrialization have led to global problems. Environmental principles are applied in forest management, but rapid industrialization and exploitation have led to serious issues. Ozone layer depletion, deforestation, and urbanization have impacted the global ecosystem. Forests conserve soil, cover ice, and provide water, but they also contribute to air pollution and skin cancer.
Deforestation leads to rapid ice melting, floods, drought, and loss of O2-CO2 balance in the air. It also threatens wildlife habitats and species. To conserve air, land, and water, it is crucial to educate youth, engineers, and administrators on ecological principles and the importance of judicious use of natural resources to prevent pollution of air, water, and land.
