• Sustainable Lifestyles
• Cleaner Economic Development
• Reduce Emission intensity of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
• Increase the Share of Non Fossil Fuel Based Electricity
• Enhancing Carbon Sink (Forests)

• Mobilizing Finance
• Technology Transfer and Capacity Building

Selected ideas and names would also be mentioned by the Hon. Minister and other experts during the MyGov Talk.

Like the western countries, let there be a law where a ring space is created around a city with only plantations,this would help the lungs in the long run.Even the urban population would welcome it for a weekend.

The Arabian Sea is already showings of hypoxia due to excess outfall of sewage and industrial waste as well as excess fertilizer runoff? Our entire coastal fisheries could be wiped out. To prevent this from happening we need an increase in sewage and industrial waste treatment capacity. Use tertiary treated water to irrigate urban gardens and new trees. Change how we use fertilizers - use slow release fertilizers. At present fertilizers used in India so rapidly that the excess is washed inmediat

CLIMATE JUSTICE - SUGGESTIONS - CONTD. XXII 29.Automobiles - Most energy efficient manufacturers, need to be identified and encouraged. Vehicles be fitted with wastebins, as this will enable travellers not to throw waste items on the roadside. Further, banks may be involved in extending loans at concessional rates to individuals who own minimum vehicles for their personal use per household / who buy vehicles which are more eco-friendly.
