National Conference on Science of Climate Change and Earth’s Sustainability: Issues and Challenges ‘A Scientist-People Partnership’ 12-14 September, 2011, Lucknow yields may result not only in measurable economic losses, but also in malnutrition and even famine. According to scientists, some positive effects of climate change may also be expected because of increase in CO 2 in the atmosphere, which may have fertilizing effect on crop growth and yields. Ecosystems that cannot move northwards at a rate dictated by global warming will be most at risk. These include, glacial ecosystems, coral reefs, atolls, forests and Himalayan systems. Indian winters may experience a decline of 5-25% in rainfall. More intense rainfall spells are expected in a warmer atmosphere. If rainfall decreases, water flow of rain fed rivers will decrease affecting ground water recharge. Increase in rainfall might aggravate flood situations, bringing destruction and disease. India is expected to lose 125 million tons (about 18%) of its rain fed cereal production potential. If agriculture production goes down, the price of staple food commodities will increase. According to a World Bank study, a 2°C rise in temperature along with a 7% increase in rainfall will reduce net agriculture revenues by 12.3% for the whole country. With the right policies, the rise in the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can be slowed and ultimately stabilized. Cleaner technologies and energy efficiency can provide solutions, allowing economic growth and the fight against climate change to proceed hand in hand. GREENING THE BUILT-ENVIRONMENT: THINGS TO DO NOW LEARNING THROUGH A CASE EXAMPLE Richa Sharma 1 and Amrut Deshpande 2 1 Pillai’s College of Architecture, Navi Mumbai. 2 YCMOU, Rachna Sansad, Mumbai. email: richa18179@gmal.com, amrut19756@gmal.com The construction industry is one of the highest energy consuming sector. In most developing nations, CO 2 emissions have been relatively constant over the past 25 years. The increase in global emissions has been largely driven by increased emissions from India, China and other growing economies of the Asia-Pacific region. These areas have seen a spectacular spurt in economic growth which has resulted in large scale urbanisation subsequently followed by construction activity spanning all spectrums. Alternative building technologies and sustainable design has been limited to the academic and experimental domains, with extremely few examples, especially in India. Public awareness of these practices, therefore, is low. It is generally assumed that minimizing the use of energy impact of architecture would require a real breakthrough in the building industry. For example, cement is recognized as an energy intensive material; but so thoroughly has it been assimilated 99
