This document discusses the need for climate-responsive technologies due to the serious threat of climate change. It defines inclusive growth as development that benefits the largest section of society and sustainable development as meeting human needs while preserving the environment. It questions whether inclusive growth can be achieved without compromising sustainable development. The document then analyzes appropriate climate-responsive technologies for major sectors like power, domestic, industrial, transport, and construction that could help reduce their carbon emissions and move towards more sustainable and inclusive development.

- 3. Climate change is the most serious challenge human society has ever faced and everybody including business houses has already realized the gravity of the issue. With the ‘save environment’ actions gaining momentum among common people, it is now high time to explore novel technologies and share knowledge among the stakeholders. Technology is deemed to be the most essential component of strategies to mitigate climate change.
- 5. Inclusive growth is a strategy where the growth will be achieved through certain instrumentalities so that the benefits reach the largest section of the society and that the maximum number of people are able to derive benefits from the developmental projects.
- 7. Sustainable development It is a pattern of economic growth in which resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment. The term 'sustainable development' was used by the Brundtland Commission. The concept of sustainable development was originally synonymous with that of sustainability and is often still used in that way. Both terms derive from the older forestry term "sustained yield", which in turn is a translation of the German term "nachhaltiger Ertrag" dating from 1713.
- 8. But there is a big question mark – whether Inclusive Growth can be attained without compromising Sustainable Development?
- 9. In a developing country like India, inclusive growth means more and more governmental schemes and support to attain the desired rate of economic and human development. The challenge in our country is To foster economic growth, Wealth distribution, Development of the underprivileged and the deprived section of the society by way of providing education for all, Increasing agricultural production, Adopting suitable post-harvest technologies and Industrial development.
- 10. GDP and Carbon emission relationship Growth of industry and agriculture will undoubtedly uplift the GDP of the country and GDP is directly linked with carbon emission. A higher GDP leads to larger disposable income and higher living standard of people, who will be more and more dependent on energy intensive gadgets and machinery and which in turn will increase the total emission of the country.

- 13. SECTOR BASIC FUEL USED CONTRIBUTION IN GHG EMISSION Power Sector Coal, 28.9% Diesel, Natural Gas REDUCTION TECHNOLOGIES / POLICIES Renewable Energy uses, • Improving Energy efficiency thorough Energy Audit, Using energy efficient lighting system, • Separation of CO2 from flue gas and using it for industrial/research purpose Domestic Sector Coal, LPG, Wood, Kerosene 6.4% Improved bio-mass based stoves Solar Cooker, Bio-gas Industrial Sector Coal, Diesel, Gas 12.3% • Improving Energy efficiency thorough Energy Audit • Separation of CO2 from flue gas and using it for industrial/research purpose.
- 14. SECTOR Transport Sector BASIC FUEL USED CONTRIBUTION REDUCTION IN GHG TECHNOLOGIES / EMISSION POLICIES Petrol, Diesel, Gas 6.5% Construction Coal, Oil Sector 9.7% (reqd. for production of steel, cement, brick etc.) • More mass transit system at affordable cost, • Imposition of fuel tax on private use, • More use of Rail/Waterways for cargo transport. • Use of alternate building materials like bamboo, compressed mud block, stone etc. • Cost-effective construction technology
