IITGN set to organise 2nd segment of workshop series on climate change

The second segment of the workshop series – Climate Action Now (CAN) – will be held from January 16 to 20, 2023. It will focus on ‘Climate Action and the Role of Industries’. 

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), in collaboration with Gujarat Ecological Education and Research (GEER) Foundation, Gandhinagar, is set to organise the next leg of a workshop series on climate change – Climate Action Now (CAN). The first segment of the series has already taken place, while the second and the third segment (five days each) are being organised this month. 

The workshop series will bring together policymakers, industry, academia, and climate experts from across the country to deliberate on seminal issues of climate change and how they can be tackled. 

Recognising the importance of industries in combating climate change, the second segment of the workshop series will be held from January 16 to 20, 2023. It will focus on ‘Climate Action and the Role of Industries’. This segment is predicated on the belief that to be more climate resilient, industries need to adapt strategies that embrace sustainable development and low carbon alternatives and technologies.  

The workshops and sessions in this segment will facilitate discussion among students, researchers, industry experts and state and non-state actors on enhancing energy efficiency, implementing renewable energy options, expanding green opportunities, and simultaneously addressing various resource limits and environmental implications in the industry sector.  

It will cover topics, including waste management in industry, greenhouse gases reduction, energy efficiency, water conservation, circular economy and effluent management. 

The third segment on ‘Climate Change-Centric Research and Development’ is scheduled to be held between January 27 and 31, 2023.
