India’s GHG Emissions: Trends and Indicators
CSTEP, on behalf of GHG Platform India, has hosted the webinar to discuss the trends in GHG emissions from key economic sectors--Agriculture, Forestry & Other Land Use (AFOLU), Energy, Industry, and Waste. The webinar highlights how these trends relate to India’s climate policy and related targets, with reference to indicators like emissions intensity of GDP and emissions per capita, at the national level. It features researchers and experts from GHGPI partners (CEEW, CSTEP, ICLEI South Asia, Vasudha Foundation, and WRI India).

An interview to answer some key questions on offshore wind technology, policy and potential.
Is India prepared for offshore wind farm development
The offshore wind industry has significant potential as a long-term solution. However, with the current costs being high, we need to study the factors that will make it viable and plausibly cheaper in the years to come. Based on a preliminary examination of existing port infrastructure in India, it is evident that enormous reinforcement efforts will be required in order to service our future offshore wind energy projects along with establishing regulatory and institutional frameworks that will guide the local stakeholders.
Infrastructure preparedness for the development of offshore wind sector in India
Renewable energy technologies are witnessing a fast-paced growth globally at 8.33%, supported by government policy. Offshore wind technology,
although a recent entrant into the arena, has already witnessed a cumulative capacity of 8,771 MW in 2014, representing a sizeable 12.6% of the
annual EU wind energy market. This is expected to grow to 40 GW by 2020. The UK, Denmark, Germany, Belgium and China are currently the leading
countries in installing offshore wind turbines and expected to contribute to most of this growth in installed capacity.
Feeder Survey in Karnataka: Key Observations

Introductory Session for Young Digital Leaders on SPOORTHI Platform
CSTEP conducted an introductory session to the SPOORTHI platform for selected young people (known as stewards) from Bengaluru's G Baiyappanahalli community. This one-stop platform would enable the community to 'log complaints' pertaining to water, sanitation, and public health (WASH). The platform will also track community priorities through a set of quality-of-life (QoL) indicators in the aforementioned sectors.
