The document discusses Massachusetts' clean energy goals and progress. It notes that MA has high electricity prices but a strong economy. Key clean energy legislation from 2008 expanded energy efficiency goals and strengthened renewable portfolio standards. Cities and towns are valued partners in clean energy efforts. MA has achieved significant growth in solar and wind power, and the clean energy sector now employs over 11,000 people. Through programs like Green Communities, energy efficiency has become the largest contributor to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Swachh Bharat Mission - Make India Cleanswachhbharat
Swachh Bharat is a part of Corporate Social Responsibilities activities that is started by Pumpkart.com. The organization is planning organize a number of awareness programme on how to promote cleanliness across India as per the guidelines announced by the Indian Government. Pumpkart.com has started this initiative that aimed at ending open defection. It is a way of using social media for making those people aware who defect in the open and do not follow the cleanliness practices.
Environmental problems (GHG effects, climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, loss of genetic diversity, air pollution, water pollution and others) are the result of human behaviour. (Gardner and Stern 2002). The consequences on the economy, society and health of climate change are one of the
greatest threats that the world faces today, affecting even the survival of the human race (Tonn 2009).
For the Basque Country, the main impacts forecasted for the last third of the century are an increase of temperatures of up to 7º, heavy changes in rainfall patterns and an inland movement of up to 13m in the coastline.
This GHG emission reduction strategy (or mitigation strategy) is addressed to the key decision making authority in the Basque Country It has been made following the five-step approach recommended by Cities for Climate Protection (ICLEI n.d.).
