Blockchain technology can improve transparency in global fish supply chains, addressing issues like illegal fishing and seafood mislabeling. This digital record, accessible to all participants in real-time, addresses traceability gaps and benefits both supply chain members and customers. The G20 should support coordinated pilots to test applications, develop consensus standards, and address barriers collaboratively. By 2025, blockchain could significantly improve global supply chain visibility, sustainability, and trust if barriers are overcome through cooperation.

The G20 countries, including Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Türkiye, face challenges in achieving the 30×30 goal of protecting 30% of the world’s land and oceans by 2030. To achieve this, they can promote urban biodiversity and ecosystem conservation through localized indexes, enhance carbon sequestration through effective management policies, and use innovative financing mechanisms like “green credit” to mobilize resources from the private sector.

The river tern, a globally vulnerable species, is native to eastern and central Pakistan, Pan India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia. It breeds on sandy islands in freshwater lakes and rivers. During field visits to Kargil, three individuals were recorded in flight over the Indus River. Long-term monitoring studies on climate change ecology are needed for future conservation, focusing on population monitoring, demographics, population limiting factors, and changes in breeding distributions and wintering ranges.

Agamids, a group of reptilian species, are found in tropical rainforests, mountain forests, deserts, and steppes throughout the Eastern Hemisphere. They are primarily found in Australia, southern Asia, and Africa. In India, 48 species of agamids have been reported, with high diversity in evergreen forests. The Kashmir Rock Agama (L. tuberculata) is the most commonly encountered species, with a range from eastern Afghanistan to Nepal and Tibet. The addition of L. tuberculata to the agamids in Ladakh suggests niche segregation in an elevation transition zone. The species feed on arthropods and plant matter, but many essential components are either present in small quantities or lacking entirely in the Nubra Valley region, suggesting competition for food between these agamids.

This is the first sighting record of the Asian Openbill in the UT of Ladakh. Though the species is widespread and common in its given range, it was not recorded in the trans-Himalayan region earlier (eBird 2022). Its nearest record is from Kathua in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir, which is 260 km from the location of our sighting (eBird 2022). The elevation of this observation, at 3,113 m asl, is also the highest recorded for the Asian Openbill in India (assessed with GeoCAT). None of the extant published works (Ali & Ripley 1983; Kazmierczak 2000; Grimmett et al. 2011; Rasmussen & Anderton 2012; eBird 2022; iNaturalist; Global Biodiversity Information Forum) mention the elevation range of the species. However, Liu et al. (2015) have recorded the Asian Openbill at an elevation of ,3840 m asl at Wudi Lake (at Yunnan province) in China.

Environmental sustainability of coal industry is a major concern considering the trends of its exponential effect on the region and towards climate change. The study examines the land use/land cover changes using spatio-temporal datasets of the years 2000 and 2020 in Dhanbad district which comes under the major coal-belt of India. The study shows the impact of expanding industries on the environment depicting a remarkable decrease in vegetation (18.89%), increase in built-up land (14.32%) and coalfields (0.9%) exhibiting massive deforestation activities. The study focuses on the increase in emissions from coal mining activities including GHGs, SOx, PMs, etc. over the years and their harmful impacts on the region. The sustainability evaluation of the coalfields of the study area is done through 15 predetermined indicators, suggesting the urgency and need of actions for sustainable functioning of coal mining industry in order to limit global warming to below 2 °C as suggested in the Paris Agreement-2016. The study also lays stress on the changing economic pattern of the region as an effect of increasing industrialization and changes in the land use.

The Crested Kingfisher Megaceryle lugubris is a large, distinctive bird found in subtropical and tropical moist lowlands and temperate forest landscapes. It is found in India, including parts of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, northern West Bengal, and the entire north-eastern region. On August 6, 2021, a male M. lugubris was sighted in the vicinity of the Regional Wildlife Warden of Kargil District, marking the first sighting of the species from the UT of Ladakh. The species migrates altitudinally in Japan and the Himalaya, moving to lower country in winter to avoid frozen waterbodies.

The Himalayan states of India are biologically rich with various natural resources, yet due to various anthropogenic or natural causes, the resources and inherited services are getting reduced day by day, at a larger scale creating different threats to the lives of local people. The current study assess the inter-connections between the changes in the vulnerable ecosystem like forest cover and increasing water scarcity in Himachal Pradesh, a Himalayan state in India. The survival rate of floras are reported to be decreasing at a very alarming rate, directly causing severe water crisis in Shimla, the famous tourist destination
of India and other villages of Himachal Pradesh. Apart from finding out different natural causes for this crisis, financial review has also been carried out in this study to analyse the State Government budget for Himachal Pradesh for different schemes and strategies related to Forests and Water Resources. The review results show climate-relevant expenditures for forestry by State Government is 27% compared to 66% in the water sector. Finally our study shows that increase in Government budget for expenditures in forest sector will help to curb water crisis to certain extents in the highland states of India. The findings would be applicable for many other countries with similar geographical parameters as well.

The Government of India recently initiated a smart city programme, aiming to promote 100 cities as “smart cities” across the country. While the definition of what a smart city actually is has been left largely to the cities themselves to define, the elements of waste, energy, information technology (IT) and transportation are largely considered to be important. In parallel with this programme, and distinct from it, the Toyota Foundation funded the authors’ research into the water-energy nexus and sustainability within the context of three of the proposed project cities. This latter work is described in this chapter.

Timely implementation of State Biodiversity Action Plan (SBAP) requires adequate financial resources for the corresponding implementing agencies. In India, the existing SBAPs have attempted to measure the required budget to implement the action plans, but an assessment on public financing, especially budgetary provisions and relevant expenditures is lacking. No attempts were made to estimate the biodiversity-relevant expenditures present in the state that are not tagged as SBAP activities. The study proposes a unique method of analysing the public expenditure related to SBAP activities and subsequently finds the potential gaps to be fulfilled through external funding. The methodology is a combination of top-down and bottom-up analysis of public financing to investigate the Annual Financial Statements and CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General of India) reports on Appropriation Account with schemes implemented in the State, year wise. A gap assessment is done to identify sector-specific funding requirement to implement the SBAP. The findings from Punjab state case study could be utilized by other States to fathom the financial resources required for SBAP implementation and to what extent, States would be able to support the SBAP. The study also recommends the inclusion of PES in the SBAP budget.

Basic requirements of sustainable smart cities in a developing country are the entitlement of facilities. Here, an index named Smart Sustainable City Development Index (SSCDI) has been developed for three Indian Smart Cities. A hierarchical method has been used to construct the index with multiple layers of indicators capturing characteristics of the dimensions such as social, economic, environment, culture and lifestyle. This index is used to assess performances of the three case study cities based on the scores in various indicators. This SSCDI framework provides a conceptual landscape for developing countries for planning their sustainable urban development and evaluation of performances.

Bhutan is dedicated to make its economy carbon neutral and to follow the exemplary path of low carbon development in the coming days. In the process of doing so, Bhutan identified that its transport sector is one of the most important sectors to address. Low carbon technology in transport sector is crucial for Bhutan to combat climate change related impacts. In this paper we have identified four different low carbon interventions possible for Bhutan and analysed their impacts on national economy, social welfare, income status and environment as a whole. The study demonstrates that low carbon transport intervention especially electric cars have highest positive macroeconomic impacts in Bhutan but at the cost of increasing urban rural income disparity. This further draws the attention of policy makers to take preventive measures in the case of introducing the policy for electric cars. In this study we also showed that modal shift (private to public transport) also has positive impacts on economy and environment in Bhutan. Keywords: electric vehicle; low carbon transport; CGE model; Bhutan.

East Kolkata Wetland (EKW) is an urban or peri-urban wetland located on the outskirts of the Kolkata City which performs multi-facet activities, carbon sink being one of them. The raw waste from the city is naturally treated in this wetland system, however, the aquaculture ponds situated in these wetlands which make use of this waste water for fishery is rarely studied. The present study aims to see whether the aquaculture ponds of EKW complex are acting as a source or a sink. Airwater carbon dioxide (CO2) flux was estimated for three consecutive seasons in a year and it was found that the system is acting as a CO2 source in all the three seasons. The average CO2 flux was 4184 µmol m-2 h-1 , 2897 µmol m-2 h-1 and 438 µmol m-2 h-1 during pre-monsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon season respectively. Effective treatment of sewage water and avoiding widespread eutrophication could lead to lowering of CO2 effluxes or may turn it to a sink as well.

Biodiversity and ecosystem services are of great importance for maintaining the sustainability of a city. Singapore Index, also known as City Biodiversity Index (CBI) is a tool for monitoring and evaluating a city’s performance and progress related to conserving and enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services. We have utilized the CBI for three Indian smart cities, i.e., Pune, Faridabad and Raipur for assessing their biodiversity level and for ranking them based on CBI scores. A standard method of CBI scoring as mentioned in the ‘User’s Manual on the Singapore index on cities’ biodiversity’ has been followed. Though there was a severe lack of data availability for these Indian cities, still the CBI scores, based on the limited data, could identify the gaps in the biodiversity protection and related programs for these cities and also could point out the areas that should be taken care of for improving the situation. Thus this study would be a motivational tool and could provide incentives for local Governments to start making inventories and monitoring their programs on biodiversity and ecosystem protections which would be beneficial for the cities’ long run sustainability. The uniqueness lies in the fact that, in this research, the CBI scoring approach has been implemented for three particular Indian smart cities, which was never done earlier for any other smart city in India.

It has been identified that in the context of primary impact of ecosystem on business activities and vice versa are predominant in the sectors like mining, paper & pulp and electricity generation (Bhattacharya & Managi, 2012). For paper & pulp sector, the main source of vulnerability comes from procurement of wood for pulp production. Thus ecosystem affects the raw material supply for this sector. On the other hand, mining and electricity sector affects the ecosystem due to their unsustainable operation on the ground. Thus in this study we have selected two different sets of industries to demonstrate the up and downstream impacts of business and biodiversity. The main objective of this study is to assess the activities to achieve sustainable business in the context of ecosystem and biodiversity conservation in India in three major industry sectors and to identify the gaps and way forward to improve the activities in the future.

This paper assesses the current activities of U.S. Fortune 500 companies with respect to global biodiversity protection and the goals of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD). Data and information collected from five hundred companies within eight major industrial sectors was further categorized at the company level to assess each company’s involvement in global biodiversity protection. Our findings show that although companies’ business profiles highly influence their decision-making process regarding the adoption of biodiversity protection policies and measures, their revenue profiles are less influential. We show that despite generating low revenues, companies in the utility sector are more active in the adoption of biodiversity protection policy than are those in the financial sector, which
generates high revenues. This study also demonstrates that companies must be convinced
of the major effects of biodiversity loss on their bottom lines to be motivated to protect
biological diversity. Companies’ business and business related risk profiles can also influence the adoption of biodiversity protection policies within the company. The study further demonstrates that a measurable biodiversity impact indicator is necessary for the
companies to get seriously involved in the mitigation action. Finally this study proposes a
three step biodiversity loss mitigation action framework which is drawn upon the assessment of the 500 companies which can contribute to develop an elaborative framework of business sector specific mitigation plan.

As economic power shifts towards Asia—particularly China, India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) —a robust energy cooperation within this region will help sustain the region’s development. Cooperation master plans already in place include interconnecting power grids and gas pipelines, engaging in cross-border power projects and promoting freer trade of energy commodities among the countries. The East Asia Summit region (EAS) pioneers such cooperation not only within the ASEAN region and the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) but with nations such as India, Russia, the United States,
and Australia as well. This study, though, focuses more on India and how its Look East Policy helps forged trade and other bilateral cooperation with the ASEAN nations, and how Myanmar plays a strategic role in India’s energy security. This study also concentrates on a particular energy resource—natural gas—and develops a quantitative assessment model to evaluate India and its neighbouring countries’ long-term natural gas demand, corresponding infrastructure requirements, and investment demand. Specifically, it looks at how India’s Look East Policy can help secure the required amount of natural gas from the ASEAN and East Asia region and at what cost. There is nothing new with including Myanmar in a discussion on regional energy cooperation. After all, this is a country with abundant untapped natural resources, including hydro and natural gas. However, very few studies have so far focused on Myanmar’s strategic location and geography and how it can provide the non-energy resources—such as land, water, human resources, and maritime channels for seaborne trade—needed to develop a robust integrated energy market. All these are essential factor inputs for large-scale energy infrastructure projects. This study thus explores Myanmar’s role in helping India with the latter’s own energy security.
Through a three-stage analysis of the regional energy problem, the study demonstrates that India is eventually going to depend more on gas (after coal) for its energy supply. As
India’s home-grown gas supply is not sufficient to meet its domestic gas demand, it currently imports more than 75 percent of its requirement from Qatar. Given the growth in future demand, growing supply volatility of Middle East gas, and increasing gas prices (including Asian premium), any dependence on the Middle East’s supply makes gas more expensive and vulnerable for India. Also, since more than 27 percent of the landed price of gas and LNG in the country consists of transport cost, it is important to reduce the distance of transport.

This paper analyzes Thailand‘s voluntary emission reduction commitments in the context of the country‘s power and energy development plans. It focuses on the power generation sector, which is the largest emitter of CO2 in the country. First, the paper discusses Thailand‘s electricity sector including power demand forecasts and emission reduction targets as incorporated in the country‘s power development plans. Next, it compares the feasibility of the power demand forecast, including the fuel mix, under the energy efficiency increasing scenario with the business-as-usual scenario. A systems engineering optimization model is then developed to assess the country‘s energy situation taking into consideration several indicators such as energy supply mix, final energy consumption, CO2 emissions, energy import and power supply costs. The analysis suggests that CO2 mitigation targets are achievable, provided that Thailand can ensure the supply and proper use of the major energy resources, namely, natural gas and renewables. As the current domestic gas reserves will exhaust soon, the country needs to ensure the supply of gas either by imports or by discovering new reserves or by a combination of both. Additionally,
to increase the share of renewable in power generation, Thailand needs to adopt proper policies through separate, sector-wise assessments of the needs/technical potential as well as cost-effectiveness of the renewable sources.

The conventional pricing mechanism used for electricity systematically hides huge investment risks which are embedded in the overall cost of production. Although consumers are often unaware of these risks, they present a large financial burden on the economy. This study applies the portfolio optimization concepts from the field of finance to demonstrate the scope of greater utilization of renewable energies (RE) while reducing the embedded investment risk in the conventional electricity sector and its related financial burden. This study demonstrates that RE investment can compensate for the risks associated with the total input costs; such costs being external volatilities of fossil fuel prices, capital costs, operating and maintenance costs and the carbon costs. By means of example, this case study shows that Japan could in theory obtain up to 9% of its electricity supply from green sources, as compared to the present 1.37%, based on the utilization of a portfolio risk-analysis evaluation. Explicit comparison of the monetary values of the investment risks of conventional and renewable energy sources shows that renewable energies have high market competitiveness. The study concludes with a recommendation that, as a business objective, investors would benefit by focusing on electricity supply portfolio risk minimization instead of cost. This could also inherently increase the supply of renewable energy in the market.
Bhattacharya, Anindya., (2012)
Japan’s energy sector is dominated by a conventional fuel mix, with a significant share of fossil and nuclear power. The country is the third-largest oil consumer and crude importer, with oil being the most consumed fossil fuel. Nuclear power contributes about 13% of the total primary energy consumption and 30% of the total electricity supply. Other sources like hydro and renewable energy contribute only 4% and 1% of the total primary energy consumption, respectively. Japan’s Basic Energy Policy Act 2002 focuses on securing a stable energy supply, ensuring environmental compliance, and using market mechanisms. In 2010, the policy revised to include sustainable energy-based economic growth and structural reform, and set goals for 2030 to revitalize the economy. However, the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear accident prompted a paradigm shift in Japan’s future energy policy, leading to the need for alternatives to nuclear expansion. As a net energy importer, adopting a fossil fuel-based energy alternative is uncertain and costly. Renewable energy can play a catalytic role in balancing domestic and international energy supply security, cleaner energy supply, and GHG emission reduction commitments.

The East Asian Summit region, including ASEAN and six other major Asian economies, is expected to experience rapid economic growth in the coming decades. To achieve sustainable economic development and reduce emissions, an efficient and integrated energy market is crucial. This study examines five scenarios for regional energy market integration, focusing on five main policies: energy trade liberalization, cross-border infrastructural linkages, international and domestic investment liberalization, and energy pricing reform. The region needs around 5 to 6 trillion USD of investment in the energy sector by 2030 to meet its energy demand and fuel economic growth. The study uses the Compputable General Equilibrium method to estimate the impacts of various market integration policies, highlighting that any strong and stringent policy overarching all major energy market issues could be effective if properly enforced among EAS member countries. Energy market integration can also be considered a systemic action for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the region.

Existing watershed project development guideline doesn’t have specific target to reduce the forced local migration. Local migration in the arid and semi arid zones of rain fed agricultural areas is a big social problem in India. Unfortunately most of the big watershed projects are in these areas in India. The watershed projects/ programs in India do not specify or ascertain minimum level of income generation which is the key for the success of such activities. Finally, conservation of local ecosystem (at the very basic level) is not considered in the watershed planning and development.
To overcome these drawbacks the present project focuses on the following two major objectives.
a) To estimate the optimal income level that each watershed should generate primarily to stop or reduce forced migration.
b) To provide long term sustainability to the watershed project by improving the income level of the beneficiaries.

This chapter examines the social and economic impacts of biofuels in East Asia, focusing on four case studies. The first three are rapidly developing countries, Indonesia, India, and China, which were expected to be major consumers and producers of biofuels at the beginning of the biofuel boom in the late 2000s. The fourth country is Japan, which has domestic production potential but is expected to become a significant importer of biofuels or feedstocks. The main positive impacts for all four countries include employment, income, rural development, and energy security. However, the main negative impacts include competition with food and other land uses, negative impacts on ecosystem services, and social impacts such as land tenure rights.

Currently economic integration in East Asia is accelerating along with a political movement towards creation of an East Asia Community. Regional economic integration could promote sustainability through generating higher incomes and facilitating clean technology transfer on the one hand, but equally it could cause natural resource degradation due to overexploitation and could harm equity in the region. Policy choices will determine which of these futures results from economic integration. Development of appropriate environmental policies that can both mitigate negative impacts and enhance positive impacts of regional economic integration is thus an imperative to promote sustainable development in this region.
As a part of an attempt to develop appropriate environmental policies not imposing excessive economic and social costs through conducting impact assessment of environmental policy implementation, we con-ducted an environmental impact assessment of future regional economic integration in East Asia region using the global trade model combined with sectoral emission factors. Environmental impacts caused by regional economic integration will depend largely on the degree of integration, which is associated with high degree of uncertainty. In order to address this future uncertainty, we employ scenario approach in which the future regional economic integration will be represented as a set of scenarios that cover the plausible range of the degree of integration. The impacts of future economic integration represented by scenarios are simulated using the GTAP model with updated datasets in recursive dynamic manner in which projection data of growth rates in population, skilled and unskilled labour force, physical capital and GDP are given as exogenous drivers. Then, the associated environmental impacts in terms of air pol-lutant emissions in Japan were estimated using emission factors which were updated based on projected clean energy shares to the total industrial energy consumption.
