Crux of the Problem: Urbanisation
• At the beginning of 20th century, urban population was 20% of the total human population.
• In 2010, 50% human population was living in urban area.
• The number of urban residents is growing by nearly 60 million every year.
• If urbanisation is an environmental problem, urban citizens need to take the lead in solving it!

URBANISATION
• Assess environmental sustainability of existing activities and systems.
• Identify action points for improving the environmental sustainability of individual components.
• Take action!
• What is Environmental sustainability? – Input resources required to keep an ecosystem up and running
should be either renewable/recyclable, or inexhaustible. – The lifecycle of any resource inputting into the ecosystem should
be highly efficient and produce minimal ‘waste’ and pollution.
How to achieve urban sustainability?
• Educational institutes is an important component of urban ecosystems in India.
• It is the logical place to start if we want to inculcate the value of environmental sustainability among educated youth of urban India.
• Practice what we preach.
• Purely selfish motive: Financial saving through optimisation of resource utilisation!
The road starts from educational institutes
ICOR – Samuchit Green Audit Toolkit: Focus Areas
• Energy management • Water management • Material management – consumables • Waste management • Travel and transport management• Ecology management • Knowledge management • Disaster preparedness • Pollution management
Overall Process• Data collection from administrative and financial records, surveys,
interviews, photographs, etc.
• Data analysis to understand the current status of sustainability in each focus area.
• Identifying action points.
• Action plan in the form of clearly defined activities, estimated budgets, timelines, and clearly identified responsibilities.
• Tracking implementation of action plan and its outcomes.
Sample RecommendationsAll the lighting elements
need to be eventually converted to CFL or LED fixtures. The changeover can be done in a phased
manner.
Separate waste bins can be set up for different types of waste. Proper segregation and composting is a must and this should be done
efficiently and also made participatory. The garden
staff needs to be motivated and trained for this.
We recommend awareness programmes
on climate change and its potential impacts in a
coastal ecosystem where the college is located.
