Clean development mechanism (CDM) was included in the Kyoto protocol to support sustainable development in developing countries through technology transfer from developed countries along with the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. More than 1000 projects which were registered under CDM from India in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have been reviewed. Through a CDM project, India as a developing country has enhanced the development of renewable energy projects with financial support through the sale of carbon credit. This note discusses the status and progress of CDM in India; the main finding is that CDM has significantly reduced the carbon footprint of the Indian energy sector.Full Text

North East India known for its rich flora and fauna, is covered by the mighty Brahmaputra-Barak river systems and their tributaries and comprises hilly terrain interspersed with valleys and plains. A field study was done to layout the soil carbon stock of Pabitora Wildlife Sanctuary and Manas National Park in Assam. Maximum average carbon stock in both was estimated in the upper layer of the soil sample, while least carbon stock was obtained at deepest layer (20-30 cm). The average carbon stock of the Manas National Park was higher than that of Pabitora Wildlife Sanctuary.Keywords

Wastewater management policies of India need updates due to inadequate infrastructure and the environmental impacts that the country is currently facing. The study analyses the wastewater situation in India, revealing infrastructure deficiencies and environmental impacts, and is backed by successful international case studies for valuable insights. The proposed roadmap for policy evolution in India involves key components such as regulatory enhancement, sustainable practices, monitoring and enforcement strengthening, government involvement, industry and community collaboration/participation and public awareness. Advanced monitoring, data analytics with data integration and decision support systems are emphasized. Challenges in policy implementation are discussed, followed by expected outcomes. This provides a comprehensive framework for revitalizing wastewater management policies of India, ensuring a sustainable future.Keywords
