Glimpse of the PresentationsSustainable Cities Sustainable cities is talk of the day. What is a sustainable city? What are the typical “sustainable interventions?” How is the smart city concept linked to sustainability? What are the national initiatives? What is the international experience on sustainable cities?

Waste Economy Reducing waste generation at source through better product design and ploughing wastes back as a resource is the future. How does the waste to resource economics work? What are the business models and case examples? What have been challenges? What are the examples – national as well as international – on enabling frameworks?

Green Products and Procurement One of the important strategies towards sustainability is to design “green products” and promote “green procurement”. What is a green product? Who will certify a green product? Are people asking for green products? Are there green products in Indian market? What are the international initiatives?

New Models of Environmental & Social (E&S) Governance The E&S Governance is changing. Earlier, it was solely driven by regulations and enforcement, but now we have pressures from markets, investors and communities. Reporting and disclosures are getting important. Judicial interventions are also playing a dominant role. What are the trends in this arena? What are the complexities? How do we prepare to face this challenge?

Water Management Water resource in India is under threat affecting humans, ecosystems as well as business. Water use reduction, conservation and recycling are some of the strategies to address this challenge. What are the good examples that demonstrate responsible management of water in industries and communities? What are the recent technology innovations?

Business and BiodiversityOn a global basis, business is getting now more sensitive towards protection and conservation of biodiversity. Biodiversity in India is however getting compromised due to intense development around our eco-sensitive and fragile areas. What is the national situation on India’s biodiversity today? Why should business care about biodiversity? Are there any good examples of responsible leadership in the business?
