Greetings from Vasudha Foundation and GHG Platform India !
This to announce the formal launch of the GHG Platform-India, on the 15th July 2016 at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, India. The GHG Platform – India is an Indian Civil Society Initiative, conceptualised by Vasudha Foundation and Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, inspired by a similar platform and initiative in Brazil, called the SEEG. The India platform comprises of eminent organisations such as the The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP), ICLEI South Asian Centre, Vasudha Foundation, and World Resources Institute (WRI) India in addition to a few sectoral experts
The platform currently hosts national estimates for GHG emissions from 2007-2012 by accounting CO2, CH4 and N2O gases across key sectors such as energy, industry, waste, agriculture, livestock, forestry, and land-use and land-use change. Going forward, it aims to provide state-level GHG emission estimates while simultaneously expanding the time-series for the national estimates. It is expected to be a valuable tool to understand development trends, track emissions, and also support the design and evaluation of energy and climate policies.
The emission estimates will be available on the website, allowing users to view, sort, and download data sets for analysis for showcasing the methodologies used in the analysis. The purpose of this website is to make data accessible to the public in a transparent and user-friendly manner. It is also envisaged that the data will be updated on a regular basis along with other key information.
The website, www.ghgplatform-india.org will be operational post the launch on the 15th July 2016.
Please do join us for the formal launch and presentation of the results of the first phase of the work on emissions estimation of GHG gases done by this platform and for others, please do visit our website.
