A low ­carbon future through sector ­led change

-
In India, a sector-led, action-based approach could provide the framework to drive low-carbon transformation. In the build-up to the 'Leaders' climate summit organized by the united states this week (April 22-23), there has been a flurry of articles about whether India should announce a net-zero' emissions target, and by when. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) 1.5°C report called for global carbon emissions to reach net-zero by 2050, which the pressure cooker of climate diplomacy has quickly transformed diplomacy has quickly transformed into a call for all countries to announce 2050 as the net-zero target year. Yet, global net-zero may require some countries to reach net-zero before 2050 for others to have some additional time. Since a disproportionate share of the carbon space has been used up by developed countries, they must act boldly at home, to match the vigor of their diplomatic efforts. Nonetheless, as a climate-vulnerable country, India must also...

Coastal Engineering  

deals with managing coastal areas. The challenge for coastal engineers to safely deliver clean water, power, and a sustainable natural and built environment for a world population. Millions of people and billions of dollars of infrastructure and communities are at risk of coastal flooding and loss of land due to sea-level rise, beach erosion, and loss of natural protection due to reefs.

Structural engineering   Structural engineering is one of the many fields involved in civil engineering . They have the responsibility of designing buildings and machinery. Through continuous training in the very latest technologies, structural engineers are at the cutting edge of the design world. Engineering services clients range from the private to the public sector, and provide design and detailing of all types of structures. Structural Engineers: Structural engineers specialize in the design and analysis of any structure like a dam, bridges, buildings, towers, flyovers (overpasses), tunnels, microstructure, and other structures.  At any time there are adjustments or repairs completed to existing construction or framing for further space, an engineer will be part of the image. They are responsible for designing floors, roofs, columns, and beams. They are also responsible for determining how energy, heat, and moisture will interact within the building and its materials....

Earthquake preparedness.  First, you have to know, what is the Earthquake if you don't know visit:-  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake Now, I am Start writing the article on Earthquake preparedness There are so many variables to earthquakes that it's tough to give a complete list of everything you should do. These are the very general earthquake preparedness tips to make your family as prepared as you can be. Before an earthquake: Have a plan! This should be priority #1 with any disaster situation. Make a plan, Make sure kids know how to dial Emergency numbers. Teach family members how to shut off gas and water lines. Have a communication plan if the family is separated. Designate a friend or relative who doesn't live in your area as a common contact person and teach your kids how to contact this person. Often it's easier to dial long distance in a disaster situation. Check your home for hazards. Inside water and gas lines should be flexible. Shelves should be s...
