Subject: Enabling the green bonds market for sustainable transport projects based on the measure/monitoring,reporting and verification method
Keywords: Green Bonds market, Sustainable Transport Projects,
Abstract: With increasing impacts of climate change in recent years, resulting from changes in temperature and climate patterns due to anthropogenic actions, the search for mitigation tools has become urgent. As it is considerably dependent on fossil fuels, the transportation sector ends up emitting greenhouse gas 9GHG) without a rigorous mitigation policy, in view of its essentially for the entire society. Thus, this study seek to provide proposols for the neutralization and mitigation of GHG in the transportation sector, aiming at the compliance of nationally determined Contributions (NDCs) through the adoption of instruments such as Green Bonds and methods such as Measure/Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) .In this context, this study aims to present and describe steps needed to identify and evaluate mitigation actions in order to reduce GHG emissions and resource depletion through the implementation of green projects focusing on the transportation sector. The roadmap created allows guiding transport decision-makers on the best sustainable transport projects underway and indicates those that need intervention.

Abstract: Bio-invasion is the entry and colonization by certain species of new geographical locations that are not allotted by nature to them as native habitats. Such species are termed as invasive or introduced (when intentionally introduced by human beings for definite purpose) species. Generally, invasive species have profound ecological impacts on biotic communities and ecological functions of the ecosystems at invaded location and adversely reduce the biodiversity of ecosystems.

Keywords: Persistence, Social capital, Labour market
Abstract: This chapter examines a puzzle associated with slash and burn,or shifting cultivation ( locally called Jhum cultivation) ,namely its persistence in several regions of the world, including the northeastern Indian states, in particular Mizoram. We argue that a simple theory of such persistence can be built around the interaction of several factors, namely Jhum's mode of production (with its emphasis on collective action), and social capital. Further, our analysis generates the testable hypothesis that such persistence is more likely if the population is not too large.

Subject: Designing PAT as a Climate Policy in India : Issues Learnt from EU-ETS
Keywords: PAT, Climate Policy, India
Abstract: Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) has emerged as a n energy and climate policy mandating a decrease in specific energy consumption (SEC) (that is energy use per unit of production) in energy-intensive industries in India. Under this scheme, the mechanism of benchmarking and trading of energy efficiency certificates will allow the domestic overachievers to trade their credits with those who underachieve. Emphasizing on the fact that growth in production is not obstructed by limited energy use, PAT creates an incentive for the producers to use energy with greater efficiency.

Abstract: In August 2009, a fire broke out aboard the European container ship MSC jesica killing six workers on the Indian ship breaking beaches of Alang. These kinds of tragedies are rather common. The fire erupted as they were dismantling the cargoship's engine room. It took place as the ship had neither been decontaminated by the original owner nor made safe by the local enterprise. The Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the world's second -largest shipping line in terms of container vessel capacity, had profitably used the ship since its construction in 1980.

Abstract: The relationship between the trade and the environment has become an increasingly contentious issue between economists and environmentalists. Economists have the firm opinion that trade helps the natural environment because rich countries can better afford to protect their unspoiled areas. Environmentalists counter that the motivation of increasing income, drives global environmental degradation and that free trade accelerates the process. In addition, people are increasingly becoming concerned and apprehensive about the environmental consequences of globalization opponents from past several years (Copeland and Taylor 2004.)

A number of factors, including access to resources, organisational efficiency, characteristics of a community and its involvement, affect the governance of natural resources like forests. The evidence (both historical and case studies) provided in this chapter shows that forest governance in the state of Odisha lacked tenurial rights for a long time for forest dwellers; this has affected their motivation for conservation and proper use of forest resources on a long-term basis.

Abstract: India is predominantly an agarian economy and more than 70% of its population directly or indirect depends on farming. Indian agriculture is often discussed in relation to the Green Revolution and its mixed record of success and failures. Yet, what most Indian farmers (over 60%) practice is rainfed agriculture, a farming system entirely different to that of irrigated areas. Green revolution technology gains in agricultural productivity and food security were widely associated with irrigated lands, where the benefits of improved seeds and increased use of inorganic fertilizers could be realised. However, there ae now widespread problems associated with the use of chemical fertilisers , mismanagement of surface water and overexploitation of groundwater, the most important source of irrigation (GoI, Economic survey 2008).

Keywords: Livestock, development, Resource-constrained Environment,induction, external buffalo breeds
Abstract: Diverse, integrated and adaptive production systems have evolved over time in the dry land areas of India to balance the adversities of scarce and variable rainfall, low crop-growing periods, poor soils and low levels of irrigation development. Live-stock production in the dry lands evolved as a system with high dependency on crop residues and common pool natural resources as against intensive fodder systems managed mainly with residues and cultivated fodder in private property regimes in the irrigated areas. Availability of leftover crop residues, common lands, private fallows and forests for grazing so common in the dry land areas has enabled an entry for the poor with little or no ownership on land and water into the livestock production systems. About 50-60% of the total feed for livestock comes from crop residues in semiarid India. It is estimated that about 91% of households in Andhra Pradesh are dependent on open grazing on common lands for an average supply of 35% of total forage. A study reported that about one-third of the dry matter comes from grazing during monsoon (Mishra et al.2010).

Abstract: Waste management in general and solid waste management in particular is a key environemtnal challenge, especially in industrialization urban areas throughout the world where Srilanka is no exception.Without an effective and efficient program to manage solid waste , the waste generated through various human activities, both industrial and domestic, can result in numerosu health hazards and have a negative impact on environemtna.We may see that concerns for a n effective and economical program to manage solid waste is ever increasing and governmnt and private sectors in both developed and developing countries are therefore called to play a significant role in this connection.

Abstract: Cities are increasingly facing acute water crisis in terms of imbalance between supply and demand. The demand for urban water supply and allied services is increasing rapidly as globalization accelerates economic development and brings about improvements in living standards in the country due to the dynamics of demography, i.e., the interactive effects of demographic growth and migration to cities under its push and pull effect. Provision of reliable and safe water supply services to urban habitat is an essential contribution to overall economic and well fare advancement.

Abstract: Forests play an important role in India's economic development in terms of their contribution to gross domestic products (GDPs), employment and livelihoods of the poor people, who are mainly dependent on forests. Besides, they are also the main source of meeting food, fuel, fodder and timber requirements of the forest dwellers. In 2008-2009, the forestry sector contributed Rs 888, 230 million to India's GDP at the current prices, which was 1.7 % of the GDP (CSO 2009) estimated at base year 2004.2005.The contribution of forests to India's GDP at current prices has declined from 2.1 to 1.7 % over the 5-year period of 2004-2005 to 2008-2009.
