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.

I have given lot of suggestion on Green India and how we can save our ecology and through which improve our economic well being. The best way is to have our urban development closely linked to Agronomy. The New towns may help adjoining villages. Agricultural products could be marketed in the new Towns.Small scale industries set up in the towns will provide employment to agri labor during off season.This arrangement will save fuel, transport cost,give employment and save ecology

Respected Sir I would like to suggest that all head officials of a particular state or city should locate the remotest/dirtiest area and work should start from there. Simply cleaning of main areas will not solve the actual mission of our Honourable Prime Minister . More over it should be noticed very strictly that the waste is recycled properly as the ways /methods have been set. These two things will really help in decreasing the level of wrong effects of climate change. Thanks Meenu Bathla

A mobile application for My Gov should be made for involving more and more people to discuss ideas.

LPG & Natural Gas are low carbon fossil fuels, also termed as transition fuels for renewable energy forms. In India use of these fuels are not wide spread in transportation & industrial sectors due to (a) Availability (b) Govt. Policies and (c) Stringent statutory rules. A lower excise duty on new vehicles will increase AutoLPG for passenger vehicles. Adopting international practices in bulk LPG will promote its use in industries. These will replace high carbon oil fuels & contribute to INDCs

Municipalities are growing trees in their parks and deviders which are fancy trees. Rather they should grow the trees in the city having fruits which can be eaten by birds. This will enrich the bio diversity in the city which is lacking today.

In my village (municipal area) people are allowed to make constructions by closing ponds. Question 1. What steps are taken by the government to protect the ponds of sweet water in rural and semi urban areas? Question 2.Can we get any type of financial help from the government to maintain the pond in our home ? Suggestion to protect environment: Govt. can employ IB personnel to check the illegal cutting down of trees in the forest area of some north eastern states.

Developed country or city does not mean how many cars are on road. Development is how popular is the public transport. Public transport saves fuel and reduce green house gas emission. We are using car pool with 4 persons for reaching office. This should be promoted by organisations.

Thoughts regarding the ppt of INDC Ques: Y no mention abt a review system? Suggestions Formation of block level review committees for climate change. Fix a stringent timeline to achieve the aim. Taking in account the demographic dividend,more incentive to Environmental Oriented/Friendly Commercial Start ups. More incentives for environmental research and creation of more platforms for sharing of ideas(Sponsored under PPP models). More subsidy on renewable energy.
