Citizens are invited to share their ideas, questions and inputs on India's role in COP21 and on the following proposals laid down by INDC:

• 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)
• Adaptation
• 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.

1) In different areas we see indiscriminate multistoried building making (flats) process is going on by destroying the percolating soil by changing the nature and character of the land (without Nations interest) even by filling up ponds/old ponds (surface water) by the promoters.2) Unscientific huge drawing of underground water (water business) by using heavy motor pumps etc. These two things we can restrict by imposing & real implementing strict central laws.

CLIMATE JUSTICE - INDC - SUGGESTIONS - XXI 27. Buying fuel / energy efficient vehicles needs to be emphasised as a signature of a good citizen. Impact of adoption of LED lights on the electricity savings, making LED bulbs etc. even more affordable. 28. Involvement of religious bodies (Greening India plans, installation of solar equipments etc.) will also prove quite productive Regards, Rajkaran Singh Bhatti Chandigarh 9780005656

CLIMATE JUSTICE - INDC- SUGGESTIONS - CONTD. XVIII 24. Citizens should be encouraged to positively contribute towards Nation Building. ‘Each One Plant One’ – citizens be supplied one sapling every year, for greening their homes. In rural areas, through agro-forestry programmes, private lands be encouraged to plant income generating trees, like poplar, eucalyptus, neem etc. on their land boundaries. Survival rate will be very high, more than 90 % Regards, Rajkaran Singh Bhatti Chandigarh
