India and the Changing Geopolitics of Oil
The global energy scenario has transformed in the past 20 years. Oil demand, earlier driven by the West, is now shifting to the East, more specifically to Asia. New oil supplies from North America have challenged the hegemony of the traditional oil exporters from West Asia and Africa. India, once a marginal player in the world oil market, is now a valued customer providing demand security for oil exporters. This book systematically examines India’s oil and gas trade, which makes it the world’s third largest importer of oil after China and the US. It explores the changing patterns of oil demand and supply, and the growing market for natural gas, renewable energy, biofuel, and alternative ...
URBAN SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste management considered the most complex issue in urban areas, and it is associated with a variety of complex socioeconomic and environmental issues. Rapid urbanization, change in lifestyles and rise in population has resulted in the generation of huge quantities of solid waste. The waste management system remains primitive and has failed to evolve with the demands of the rapidly changing situation. The quantity of waste generated is much higher than the quantity collected, transported and disposed of, leading to the piling up of uncollected waste in streets, public places and drains. The unsanitary methods adopted for the disposal of municipal solid wastes pose a serious health concern. The technologies that have been attempted in India run into rough terrain, failed to bring desired environmental and public health benefits. This book is comprised of articles highlighting the issues relating to problems in managing urban waste, sustainability in waste management practices and generating wealth from waste contributed by eminent scholars in this field.

The 2015 UN Climate Change Summit, COP21(21st session of Conference of Parties), held in Paris was the most significant conference on climate change since Copenhagen, as the 196 nations that were parties to the agreement had set themselves a deadline of 2015 for coming up with a legally binding deal to help enable the world limit global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. The two-day International Conference on ‘Climate Change Paradigms’, conceptualised and organised by the Centre for Public Policy Research – Centre for Strategic Studies, Kochi, with the support of the US Consulate General, Chennai, explored and debated upon the various issues and challenges featured at COP21. The conference was conceived with a need to focus on the Indian position in global climate change initiatives.
