Panaji: Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) is set to host the 2nd International Environment & Sustainability Summit, Goa, from February 8 to 10, 2024. GSPCB chairperson Mahesh Patil said that based on the success of the event last year, international organisations such as the World Bank have expressed interest in collaborating with Goa for the 2024 summit.
The theme for the upcoming summit is ‘A step to become net zero by 2070’.Patil said that the event will familiarise participants with the latest environmental protection technologies and solutions.
“Last year, the three-day exhibition-cum-conference had drawn more than 430 industry delegates, over 1,400 visitors, and more than 35 exhibitors of innovative technologies,” said Patil.
The forthcoming event will be held at Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium at Taleigao. Exhibitors will offer the latest tech solutions for issues such as waste management, water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management, air pollution control, waste-to-energy conversion, e-waste and industrial waste, refuse disposal and recycling, and plastic waste recycling.
“The crisis caused by climate change and the pandemic is a wake-up call that demonstrates nature’s ultimate power over lives and societies,” Patil said. “To build a sustainable future, strong commitments are needed to adopt solutions that will facilitate the transition to a carbon-neutral future, increasing circularity and inclusivity.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced India’s aim of achieving the net-zero status by 2070 and in this context, said Patil, the 2nd International Environment & Sustainability Summit, Goa, has been organised.
“This summit’s aim is to present sustainability solutions and best practices, sharing of experiences, success stories and innovative ideas, and building a network and enhancing the learning experience,” Patil said.
The summit will host a diverse range of stakeholders and participants including representatives of industries, ministries, government departments, academia, financial institutions, civil society, consultants, bilateral/multilateral agencies, research scholars, and educational institutions.
