SCOPE Study – Initiatives towards building a low carbon economy
To achieve national climate mitigation goals, Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) must play a crucial role. Recognizing this, SCOPE and GIZ sought to highlight innovative technologies, practices, and processes adopted by PSEs to maintain performance while prioritizing climate sensitivity. This Compendium serves as a repository of unique technological advancements, showcasing how 26 ‘Ratna’ PSEs integrate sustainability into their operations. I extend my sincere gratitude to these PSEs for their transparency in sharing insights, which can serve as a benchmark and guide other organizations in balancing commercial prudence with climate resilience for a sustainable future.

Over the past decade, India’s climate response has evolved into a comprehensive, multi-pronged strategy, integrating mitigation and adaptation efforts with sustainable development goals, technological innovation, and international partnerships. Guided by its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, India aims to reduce emissions intensity, enhance non-fossil fuel energy capacity, and create significant carbon sinks through afforestation. As it navigates the delicate balance between growth and sustainability, India’s climate actions are increasingly seen as a blueprint for emerging economies, grounded in equity, inclusivity, and a long-term vision for planetary well-being. This article delves into India’s evolving climate governance landscape, its global commitments, policy frameworks, sectoral initiatives, and international collaborations. It highlights how India is aligning its development trajectory with lowcarbon, climate-resilient goals while advocating for global cooperation and equitable climate finance to ensure a sustainable future for all.

Plastic, once celebrated as a miracle material for its durability, versatility, and affordability, has become one of the most pressing environmental challenges of 21st century. What began as a technological breakthrough in the 20th century has now evolved into a global pollution crisis that touches every corner of the planet. From choking our rivers and oceans to contaminating soil and air, plastic pollution is a silent crisis with loud consequences, that demands immediate collective actions. This article explores the lifecycle of plastic, the environmental and health risks it poses, and the urgent need for systemic solutions.

In a world grappling with escalating environmental crises, symbolic gestures like Earth Hour and commemorative days such as World Environment Day serve as powerful reminders of our collective responsibility toward the planet. Yet, while these moments ignite awareness, lasting environmental transformation demands long-term commitment, systemic change, and continuous engagement. This article explores how environmental observances, ranging from hours to entire decades, contribute to global sustainability by mobilizing action at multiple levels. It also analyzes the strategic value of time-bound campaigns, from single-day events to year-long themes and decade-long United Nations (UN) led initiatives, in fostering behavioral change, influencing policy, and uniting stakeholders. It also highlights the proactive steps being taken by Indian Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) and the Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE), an apex body of Indian PSEs, in aligning their operations with climate goals and sustainability principles. Ultimately, it makes a compelling case for integrating awareness with action, transforming fleeting inspiration into enduring environmental stewardship.

The climate system is a complex network of Earth’s components – the atmosphere (air), hydrosphere (water), cryosphere (ice), lithosphere (solid surface), and biosphere (living organisms) that interact to regulate the planet’s climate. Maintaining balance among these elements is crucial for climate stability. However, human activities have increasingly disrupted this balance, leading to the current global climate crisis. Within this system, some components are resilient, while others are highly vulnerable. When these vulnerable parts reach critical thresholds, they can trigger abrupt and often irreversible changes known as tipping points. This article examines the growing significance of climate tipping points, identifies key tipping elements at risk, and explores their interconnections. It also discusses the uncertainty surrounding these tipping points and emphasizes the importance of positive tipping points in mitigating climate risks.

The scientific consensus on the severity of the climate crisis and the urgency to limit temperature rise beyond 1.5- or 2-degree Celsius by the end of this century continues to grow. Yet global efforts fostered largely through multilateral and bilateral arrangements seem to be falling short of meeting the required targets. As the Donald Trump administration prepares to pull out of the Paris Agreement, there is much scrutiny over rather unambitious and unfulfilled climate commitments of many countries in the Global North. India however, over the past few years, has taken a huge leap forward and emerged as a proactive player in the international climate agreements. While advocating for the rights and concerns of the Global South, India has put forward several climate targets, yet challenges remain when it comes to fulfilling them due to domestic constraints and geopolitical uncertainties.

Climate change is a pressing global challenge with far-reaching impacts on biodiversity and human well-being. However, its effects are not evenly distributed, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities, especially women. Traditional gender roles often increase women’s vulnerability, highlighting that climate change is not gender-neutral. This article examines the gendered dimensions of climate change, exploring ecofeminism and women-led climate initiatives. It also addresses barriers to tackling gender-specific impacts and emphasizes the need for gender-responsive policies. Lastly, it reviews global, national (with a focus on India), and organizational policies, including those by Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) and SCOPE, to promote equitable solutions.

Scientific research is essential in tackling climate challenges, providing evidence-based insights into climate systems, drivers, and solutions. Climate change, influenced by both natural and human factors, requires a deep understanding to predict future scenarios and develop effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a UN body of climate experts, plays a key role in this effort. Through its reports, the IPCC offers critical scientific guidance, helping governments, businesses, and organizations craft policies that mitigate climate risks while promoting sustainability. This article examines the IPCC’s impact as a science-driven body shaping global climate action.

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to humanity, worsening social, economic, and environmental inequalities, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities. While environmental issues were discussed in early UN scientific conferences, a structured climate action plan emerged only with the establishment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. The IPCC’s reports influenced major global decisions, including the Rio Declaration and the UNFCCC. The UNFCCC, established in 1994, led to the Conference of the Parties (COP), where global stakeholders collaborate on climate action. This article provides FAQs on COP, highlighting its significance in addressing climate change.
