Role of Education for Green Technology and Sustainability

Abstract

Today, the threat of climate change is more dangerous than ever. A waste society supported by those who consume waste products is also responsible for creating chaos. According to Swiss Re, the global economy could lose 18% of its GDP by 20250 without security. The world was formed about 4.5 billion years ago and modern humans have been around for about 315,000 years. According to research by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), more than a third of the world's natural resources have been destroyed by humans in just thirty years.According to research by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), more than a third of the world's natural resources have been destroyed by humans in just thirty years.  It shows how much we need the earth to support our way of life. If the impact is multiple, we “borrow” from the next generation. Ecological Footprint measurement was developed by the Global Footprint Network. We continue to drink these. at an increasing rate. We need approximately 1.75 planets to provide the resources we use today and to absorb our waste. By 2030 we will need two worlds.Sustainability can be defined as the long-term ambition for people to co-exist on Earth without depleting its natural resources. Ultimately, the goal is to create a better future for both people and the planet.Green Technology acts as a catalyst, propelling societies towards growth models that resonate with sustainability and long-term viability.Prime Minister of India is all set to launch a "new mass movement" against plastic use. Recognising the cultural and environmental importance of the river Ganga, the ‘Namami Gange Programme’ was approved by the union government.Moving away from technical or industrial skills, the Green Skill Development Programme was launched in June 2017 by the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change.  The national cleanliness drive - Swachh Bharat Abhiyan - is perhaps the most popular campaign relating to environment that the Indian government pulled off.Nationally determined contribution of India is there is requirement of 1 billion pro-planet people from 2022-28, reduce emission intensity of the GDP by 45% by 2030, 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non fossil fuel by 2030.Student has the potential to become reflective practitioners of social problems, presenting better alternative solutions to society. Teachers, staff, and students will start making small commitments to sustainability by applying the green education program's principles.
