Biofuels are being touted as a solution to rising fuel prices, growing energy demands, and the need to curb emissions of greenhouse gases. Governments have good reasons for promoting biofuels. Yet, a headlong rush into growing biofuel crops will bring its own problems.

Climate change is a challenge facing human life. It will change mobility and asks for new energy solutions. Bioenergy has gained increased attention as an alternative to fossil fuels. Energy based on renewable sources may offer part of the solution. Bio ethanol based on sugar cane offers advantages to people, the environment and the economy.

This paper describes the principal activities of food supply and distribution systems and suggests planning criteria for managing the physical and spatial dimensions of the city in order to improve the quantity, quality, variety and safety of food, and to help low-income urban populations to access it.

Hydropower is often believed to be an inherently

This conference will address the challenges posed by climate change on biodiversity and food security in relation to sustainable management. It envisages bringing policy planners and researchers from the South Asian region to a common platform to share knowledge and experience, so as to progress towards a sustainably developed society.

Technical guidelines for environmentally sound mercury management in flouroscent lamp sector by the CPCB. These guidelines are applicable, in principle, to other mercury-bearing lamps, as well.

Major transport-environment issues in Asian developing countries are: Choice of transport modes has been skewed towards motorized and private modes (cars, two wheelers) in early stage of economic development; Gap between demand for motorized travel and capacity of infrastructure is high and widening; Cities are trying to develop efficient transport systems but less or no attentions are being pai

This is a report on the review and assessment of the Lakshadweep Coral reef wetland ecosystem at Agati and Kavaratii Islands included under National wetland conservation and management programme of the MoEF.

This report outlines various options for containing costs under a cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

This recent study by SANDEE examines the link between stream flow, agricultural water use and economic returns to agriculture. Attempts to simulate the likely impacts of regeneration of a degraded forest catchment on stream flow and the consequent impact on irrigation tankbased agriculture in a downstream village.
