Dear Colleagues, 

Today the National Mission for Green India (GIM) is identified as one of the eight Missions outlined under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). It's main focus is to protect, restore and enhance India’s diminishing forest cover and made it favourable to cope with the present climatic conditions. It envisages a holistic view of greening and focuses on multiple ecosystem services, especially, biodiversity, water, biomass, preserving mangroves, wetlands, critical habitats etc. along with the main issue of the Green economy i.e., the carbon sequestration as a co-benefit. 

The ICASCG-E conference is an attempt to offers a track of quality R&D updates from key experts and to provide an opportunity to understand some new techniques and horizons that will contribute to advancements in Renewable Energy, Green Technology & Environmental Science in the coming few years. Besides the presented papers in the colloquium, all the submitted papers will be undergone a peer-review process and accepted papers will be published in a Special issue of Ambient Science (both Electronic & Print format with proper DOI), a UGC listed journal, indexed in WoS (Thomson Reuters).
