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.

#1:we should make it compulsory for all shops to adopt "one shop: plant one tree" minimum.Let them take care of it. Advertise around it. The wider the shop, more places ts they play the. #2: similar initiative with housing societies #3: dividers between roads should have tall trees. They provide natural division and cool the roads too with green cover too

Increasing the share of non fossil fuel based electricity: India is the 6th largest hydro power producer in the world yet under utilising its power from hydro.Power HydroKinetic turbines on any free flowing water be river,canals,waste water and the likes. A very simple IDEA TO IMPLEMENT (I2I concept). Proposal:One hydrokinetic turbine of size of a TV can generate 1kW of power output per hour from flowing water (1.5m/s). The cost of project is minimal. India can generate 4,5 GW of unused power

Here is sustainable solution to increase the renewable energy mix to 65% in the next 20 years. We should not waste the land below the PV panels, instead use for agriculture, rainwater charging, harvesting with a fish and prawn culture pond below the Solar PV panels. Can u pls arrange rs.24 cr debt fund (no subsidy)for a 3MW pilot to illustrate in INDIA?

My suggestions: 1. India is rich in solar light, we should leverage that by making big buildings / offices install solar panels for electricity usage and reduce usage of non-renewable fuels. 2. Nearly every police station in India has hundreds of vehicles (2 & 4wheelers) lying in open areas and leading to emission of carbon and lead into environment via corroding and decomposing of TYRES, BATTERIES and BODY PAINTS. This is dangerous for next generation and immediate measures are needed quickly

Sir, Ample research is being conducted in world universities for conversion of carbon dioxide into organic liquids (fuel) using sunlight and some catalysts. The Bocarsly Lab in Princeton University has industrialized such a facility. Being a researcher working in an industry emitting CO2 in bulk, I would like to develop such a system. What our country could do is to develop efficient CO2 conversion systems and to make it compulsory to major industries. Thus, CO2 becomes a green energy source.

My thoughts are regarding carbon sink. Would it not be possible that the Cabinet ministers /PM make a public offer that they would attend any function whose sponsor first plants a minimum no of saplings on his premises and also signs an undertaking that he will arrange to nurture those saplings so that a major portion of them are thriving after a year or else pay a fine to the govt if he fails?. Trees can be a carbon sink anywhere. They dont have to be in a forest to be a carbon sink.
