MyGov Talk with Hon. Minister Shri Prakash Javadekar on Climate Change

In the run-up to COP (Conference of Parties) 21 scheduled in Paris from 30th November to 11th December 2015, MyGov and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change are pleased to announce a MyGov Talk with the Honourable Minister, Shri Prakash Javadekar on the 26th October 2015 at 5.00PM in collaboration with Google India.

With India's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), the country is keen to attempt to work towards a low carbon emission pathway, while simultaneously endeavouring to meet all the developmental challenges that the country faces today. The INDC aims at promoting clean energy, especially renewable energy, enhancement of energy efficiency, development of less carbon intensive and resilient urban centres, promotion of waste to wealth, safe, smart and sustainable green transportation network, abatement of pollution and India’s efforts to enhance carbon sink through creation of forest and tree cover.

Citizens are invited to share their ideas, questions and inputs on India's role in COP21 and on the following proposals laid down by INDC:

• Sustainable Lifestyles
• Cleaner Economic Development
• Reduce Emission intensity of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
• Increase the Share of Non Fossil Fuel Based Electricity
• Enhancing Carbon Sink (Forests)
• Adaptation
• Mobilizing Finance
• Technology Transfer and Capacity Building

Selected ideas and names would also be mentioned by the Hon. Minister and other experts during the MyGov Talk.
Contributors from MyGov, Climate Change Experts, senior journalists and social media influencers will join the panel discussion with Shri Prakash Javadekar.

India should launce National Plan to Secure Waterbodies & Expand Greenary over the country by way of Fisheries,Agriculture,Horticulture, Gardens of Medicinal Plants,Tea & Cofee,Fruits etc. Then we can shrink more carbon with more greenary and as well as carbon shrinking people will get good earning from this plan. So at the first step all the participating countries should be help and contribute Indi for this plan. With 60% greenary India can consume & refine all the carbons produced here.

Taking advantage of 300 sunny days in a year in India almost all motor vehicles and Railway Coaches can be equipped with solar power generators on top.Only heavy vehicles be allowed to use petrol and diesel for long distance journey. Everywhere there must be ‘solar bunks’. Two wheeler and four wheeler running within Cities Towns limits be allowed to be driven only by electric power. The demand for petroleum products goes down.The sweet Dream of pollution free India will come true.

Lot of vehicles on roads and trains on rail can be operated with self generated electricity. The rims of all motor vehicles and the wheels on railways may be fitted with dynamo rotors specially designed to produce and store power while rotating. Apart from 100 million automobiles, there are 1.22 lacks goods wagon and 7200 coaches having eight wheels are running in Indian railways.If fitted with rotors one wheel a Wt a day may go a long way in power generation in India.Roof tops for solar energy.

We can have floating windmill farms. Large and small vassals unfit for navigation meant for demolition be stationed at 30 to 40 km away from seashore at strategic points. These vassals may carry windmill turbines & rotors used to generate energy. No cost in seabed selection or soil testing underneath sea water. No time consuming construction work in the seabed. Mobility is advantageous. India has 7540 km coastal line could be safely utilized. They may also be used as Cost Guard stations.

My question is What climate possibilities and changes do you expect after COP21 Talks in terms of India, are there any short term climate goals in your mind and also are there any plans to make the use of fossils taxable in India? Do you think it will work for a country like India which is still in its development mode?

Climate change is a huge impact on the earths atmosphere, we are very familiar to the impacts of climatic changes on the agriculture, though india is an agriculture priority country, it should first try to solve agricultural problems due to climate change.

We can think of windmill farms on wheels. Goods trains moving fast can be used for carrying hundreds of windmill rotors fixed on long non wagon shafts. The windmills rotating swift and free with the dashing air can produce and save renewable energy . No land acquisition problem. No time consuming environmental clearance. No large variations in output due to seasonal conditions and changing wind flow directions. No huge cost and time lag on feasibility and viability tests.

It is not only responsibility of government, if it is related to every one of us. All of us have to do as much as we can, and not all the time asking government to do this & that. Like from childhood, parent must teach them good environment habits. And we believe that we are currently in this situation is only because most of us may not be able to get #EcoEducation, like do not throw plastic bottle here & there etc. A small & firm steps now from parent will help next generation better future

To avoid co2 emission it is important that we plan to improve our green cover and at the same time shift to energy produced by water,wind mills and through solar system.We must develop ways and means for our rapid transport system which is dependent on Petrol & diesel and above all control our population which is solely responsible for this outrage.
