VENUE -MAIN HALL, TMPAI
Climate Change Impacts, Mitigation And Adaptation Strategies- Global warming is one of the most pressing issues today and emissions are contributing to climate change, which is a real and present threat to planet Earth. With longer summers, extreme winters, wildfires, rising sea levels, heat waves and other calamitous events, the impact of climate change is evident. In 2015, in Paris, the nations of the world committed themselves to trying their best to prevent planet warming by more than 1.5°C from its pre-industrial state. The focus of this session will be on the recent advances made and tools and techniques available to address comprehensively climate change and its impacts, based on the most up-to-date scientific research

Measuring baseline emissions- Despite low per-capita emissions (1.8 tons CO2), India is the third-largest emitter globally, emitting a net 2.9 gigatons of carbon-dioxide equivalent (GtCO2) every year as of 2019. The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) tells us that global emissions need to be reduced by 43% within this decade for us to have a fighting chance of limiting global temperature rises to within 1.5° C. How, then can India realize the promise of its green transformation? The focus of this session will be on the recent advances made and tools and techniques available to address Determining emissions reductions, Verification, and validation in all aspects of Agronomy, Horticulture, Agroforestry, Irrigation, Fertilizer application, Farm mechanization Food, Nutrition both traditional and modern, Documenting indigenous practices, changes in farming practices, Ocean Uptake, Geological Sequestration
