Kondratiev) Super cycles, great surges, long waves, K waves or
long economic cycles

5. Sustainable Development
WCED 1987: OUR COMMON FUTURE (BRUNDTLAND COMMISSION)
Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs

6. Towards Measuring SD: Consideration of Progress Indicators
• GDP ( Gross Domestic Product)
• Measure of Economic Welfare (MEW)
• The Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare (ISEW) and Genuine Progress Indicator
(GPI)
• Human Development Index (HDI) and Gender – related Development Index (GDI)
• Ecological Footprint (EF)
• Happy Planet Index (HPI)
• Regional Quality of Development Index (QUARS – Italy)
• Quality of Life Index (PQLI) …. etc.
• Green GDP or Green National Accounting (towards indicators supplementing GDP –
greening the national accounts)
 System of Economic Environmental Accounts (SEEA)
 National Accounting Matrix including Environmental Accounts (NAMEA)
 German Environmental Economic Accounting (GEEA)
 System of Economic and Social Accounting Matrices and Extensions (SESAME)
• Supplementing GDP
 Millennium Development Goals etc.
 Sustainable Development indicators (SDG Goals for 2030; with 200+
Indicators)

8.  The issue of ecocentric view / anthropocentric view
 Resources : are productive functions and operations performed by tangible
substances when used to satisfy a given end or defined want. Resources
explicitly require objectives and planning agents (managers).
 Key factors of resources : Utility and scarcity and classes (stock and flow)
 Conservation generally requires decreases in present rates of use for
stock and carefully controlled rates of use for flow resources
 Is there something called scarcity value ?

11. Current widespread agricultural
practices - Key Issues
 Pesticides ; GMO’s ; Preservatives & Chemical
additives ; Adulteration ; Quality of food; Antioxidants;
Nutrition
 Issues : poor soils and low fertility (carbon content
0.2% to 0.5%); inadequate groundwater as well as low
water holding capacity; Income instability for farm
families and general health of society (rural / urban)

12. Consumer end – The scenario
 Daily intake of pesticides ranging from 1.5 times to 72
times to so called safe limits for adults
 Children 4 times more susceptible and that three fourths
of products consumed by children are contaminated
 Pesticide residues accumulate in the body and lead to
cancer, neurological disorders, suppress body immune
system, suppress cognitive development etc.
The problem of malnutrition !!
Issues of tradeoffs with food security and the means to the end.

13. Nutritional Quality
A study by US Dept. of Agriculture on 43
crops between 1950 & 1999, found that the
nutrient decline ranged from 6% to 38% in
case of Proteins, calcium, phosphorous,
iron, riboflavin, and ascorbic acid.
Towards a solution (Organic farming which is
sustainable – ecological, economic, social )
Note : It takes atleast three years of
continuous organic farming to reasonably
decontaminate soils from existing status

14. Green House Effect

15. Climate Change and Impacts
Slow and Gradual:
increase in earth’s surface temperature
melting of polar ice
melting of glaciers
long-term lean-season effects on perennial rivers
rise in sea level
erosion and submergence of soil in coastal regions
salt water intrusion into fresh water sources in coastal regions
irregular and erratic weather patterns
shifting of seasons
increasing / decreasing seasonal rainfall
extreme weather events
floods and droughts
changes in frequency and intensity of cyclones

16. Climate Change and Impacts…
effects on forests
shift in forest coverage and types and effects on associated biodiversity
effects on agriculture and food production

20. • Worldwide accounting of fresh water application : Agriculture (70%);
Industry (20%) and Domestic (10%)
• In some industrialized nations, however, industries consume more than
half of the water available for human use. Belgium, for example, uses
80% of the water available for industry.
• Freshwater withdrawals have tripled over the last 50 years. Demand for
freshwater is increasing by 64 billion cubic meters a year (1 cubic
meter = 1,000 liters)
• The world’s population is growing by roughly 80 million people each
year (implications from lifestyle changes)
• Between 1,000 and 4,000 litres of water are needed to produce a single
litre of biofuel.
• Almost 80% of diseases in so called "developing" countries are
associated with water

23. Industrialisation and Clusters
 Mechanism: Agglomeration
 Purpose: Geographical distribution and balanced development
 Logic: Externality/spillovers and Economies of Scale/Scope
 Types of clusters: differ from one another depending upon history of
emergence, nature of product, markets, organisation of production etc.
 No. of Industrial Clusters in the world = More than 1.2 Lakh
 No. of Industrial Clusters in India (and Mahalanobis Plan) = more than 6400
“Clusters are a geographically proximate group of interconnected companies and
associated institutions in a particular field linked by commonalities and
complementarities. Clusters encompass a array of linked industries and other entities
important to competition …including governmental and other institutions – such as
universities, standard setting agencies, think tanks, vocational training providers and trade
associations” Porter (1998)
…geographically bounded concentration of similar, related or complementary businesses,
with active channels for business transactions, communications and dialogue, that share
specialized infrastructure, labour markets and services, and that are faced with common
opportunities and threats.” Rosenfeld (1997)

Milestones in Eco-Innovation/Design

41. Challenges / Dilemmas for Institutions in
promoting eco-innovation
 Which theme to focus (product / process)
 When to focus and on whom (large scale / small scale sectors)
 How to overcome inclusion / exclusion errors
 Which industry sector
 Which technology (and which aspects to adddress – energy/water/chemicals
etc)
 What approach to undertake (interventions, extension services, facilitation,
regulation, MBIs and incentives, partnerships etc.)
 What toolkits to develop
 What kind of programmes / projects to design
 How to achieve scale up and mainstreaming and multiplier effects
 What innovations to make in governance architecture (and how should inter-
institutional working be improved)
 Whether volunteerism will work (what design for demographic dividends)
 How to rework natural resources management etc.

42. Key Mechanisms – Institutional Engagement
 Technology upgradation and waste minimisation/cleaner production support and
Clean Technology Demonstration projects
 Promoting collaborations
 Setting criteria towards eco-labels and databases
 Highlighting features / benchmarks across labels/databases
 Facilitating establishment of eco-metrics
 Visibility for citizens / experts via seminars and conferences
 Green procurement and green retailing promotion
 Eco-Innovation literature and analytics (including consumer studies)
 Enabling eco-products trade
 Guiding eco-finance development
 Addressing harmonisation of eco-labels / databases
 Facilitating eco-industrial parks
 Proposing principles towards green growth / green economy
 Other linked facilitations, including checking green washing etc

43. ATMOSPHERE
 Levels of Sulphur-dioxide in several Indian cities
have already exceeded permissible limits set by the
WHO
 About 60% of Calcutta's residents suffer from
respiratory diseases because of air pollution.
 The biggest environmental problem to world is
viewed in the form of unpredictable climatic changes
caused by alarming increase in the atmospheric
carbon-dioxide (CO2) levels.
Gravity of Environmental Pollution

44. WATER
 Seventy percent of all the available water in India is
polluted. About 73 million workdays are lost due to
water related diseases.
.
 Before Yamuna River enters Delhi 100 ml of its
water contain about 7500 coliform organism. After it
received Delhi's wastewater the coliform count to
24,000,000 (=24 million) per 100 ml.
 In a 158-km stretch of the Hooghly, the average
annual yield of fish in the unpolluted and polluted
zones is 719.25 and 124.94 tonnes respectively.
Gravity of Environmental Pollution

45. FOREST
 Cherapunjee- the wettest spot on the earth and once
covered with lush subtropical forests is today a barren
area.
 Though the forest department controls 23% of India's
total area, only about 10- 12% has adequate tree
cover.
 Over one million hectares of forests are cut every
year, according to unofficial estimates. Some 0.15
million hectares of forests are lost due to
developmental projects.
Gravity of Environmental Pollution

46. LAND
 Every six months, more top soil gets washed away that
gets used to build brick houses across the country.
 In the highly grazed Shivalik hills a few centimetres of
topsoil, representing nearly 2400 years of local
ecological history often disappears with one monsoon.
 Between a quarter to half of the land brought under
irrigation can go out of cultivation permanently because
of soil salinity and water logging.
Gravity of Environmental Pollution

47.  Less no. of Enforcing Manpower in Regulatory Agencies
 Problems in Enforcement of Legislation 'in SME's due to large- no
of SME's
Environmental problems of SME'S:
 High specific waste generation
 Clustering of Units
 High wastage of resources
Due to:
 Lack of Resources
 Use of Obsolete Technology
 Labor Oriented Technology
 Lack of Access to New/ Emerging Technology
 Lack of Common Infrastructure
 Resistance to Change/ Attitudinal Aspects
 Lack of Technical Know-how
Grey Areas in Environmental Protection in India

48.  Increased Public Awareness
 Increased Public Activism through Public Liability Act
Provisions
 Increased Judicial Activism / Intervention
 Inclusion of Cleaner Production (CP) / Waste
Minimisation as Environmental Protection
Measures in the Environmental Policy Statement
Change in Environmental Front

49. Pollution Prevention in SMEs:
Issues and Strategies
ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF SMEs
(Reiterating the known)
 SMEs constitute an important segment in the industry related
economies, particularly in developing countries and economies
in transition.
 SMEs account for more than 90% of industrial units in
developing countries.
 SME's contribute a major share in industrial GDP and exports.
 SMEs also account for a major share in industrial pollution.

50. STRENGTHS
 Cluster presence could facilitate adoption of common treatment
facilities
 Smaller pollution volumes/loads could facilitate adoption of
package treatment systems
 Waste Minimisation potential being very high could lead to
substantial financial and environmental benefits
 Single level decision making could help in speedy
implementation
 The preference accorded by the Government could be favorably
used to secure facilities like soft loans, incentives etc.
 Higher possibility of waste exchange, waste utilisation: waste
from one industry could serve as a resource to another industry
SWOT Analysis of SMEs in Pollution Abatement

51.  Difficulties faced by SMES in complying with Environmental
Regulations
 High investment and operating cost of End-of-Pipe (EOP) Pollution
control systems often beyond the reach of small industries
 Lack of knowledge and information on selecting the most cost-
effective system -almost total reliance on advice of EOP equipment
suppliers
 Lack of technical capability for proper running and maintenance of
EOP equipments
 In many cases, lack of space to accommodate EOP system
 Lack of interest of consultants and equipment suppliers in SME's due
to smaller business quantum per industry
 Lack of measurement and monitoring facilities to practically assess
the pollution load and performance of EOP systems
WEAKNESSES

52.  Pollution Minimisation could serve as a vehicle for increasing
competitiveness
 Better environmental performance could help in securing
bigger/additional markets
 Incorporation of Environmental Management Systems could lead
to establishment of a culture of continuous improvement
 Adoption of Cleaner Production could bring about a change in
attitude of the industry personnel
 The upcoming industries could use environmental cost. as a
balancing tool for selecting newer low-waste technologies
 Improving environmental performance would also lead to
improved shop-floor conditions and, thus, higher labour
productivity
OPPORTUNITIES

53.  Increasing intervention of Judiciary and State Agencies Which
could even lead to closure of industries
 Increasing public pressure: The fear of becoming a public
enemy
 Increasing enforcement of Regulations which could make
installation of expensive EOP system mandatory
 Possible loss of market both due to loss of consumer faith and
trade conditions in case of non-compliance of Environmental
Regulations
 Possible blanket curb by State Agencies on higher polluting
industry sectors/products
THREATS

54. Role of Policy makers:
 Formulation of emission/effluent standards in a way so that it
promotes Waste Minimisation E.g: the existing concentration
based, standards to be revised to load based standards
 Incorporation of pollution prevention in the Regulatory system
with specific emphasis on adoption of Cleaner Technologies
 Institution of pollution prevention awards and public recognition
systems to bring the champions in limelight
 Formulation of appropriate fiscal policies which promote Pollution
Minimisation. This could include incentives for waste recycling,
soft loans, pollution tax linked with pollution load etc.
Role of different Stakeholders in
Environmental Development of SMEs

55.  To provide advisory/information services on Pollution
Minimisation to industries
 To develop trainers and, thus, train industry personnel
 To develop centralised waste monitoring and characterisation
facilities (portable monitoring instruments and analytical
laboratory facilities) which could be used by a number of
SMEs
 To interact with Policy Formulators in Developing appropriate
Policies
Role of Industry and Associations

56.  To adopt softer attitude towards industries which show keenness in
Waste Minimisation
 To provide guidance and support to industries in implementing
Pollution Minimisation
 To build a platform for interaction between industry Pollution
Minimisation equipment/technology suppliers
 To reward the doers and penalise the evaders.
 To develop trainers and advisors
 To develop centralised waste monitoring and characterisation
facilities (portable monitoring instruments and analytical laboratory
facilities) which could be used by a number of SMEs
 To interact with Policy Formulators developing appropriate Policies
Role of Regulatory Agencies

57.  To build Pollution Minimisation as part and parcel of Management
practices
 To commit themselves and set time-bound targets/goals for
Pollution Minimisation
 To interact and learn from each other on different practices
adopted for improving environmental performance
 To establish Environmental Management Systems to ensure
continuous improvement
 To train all their employees and make them conscious about
environmental performance
Role of Industrial Nodal Agencies
