E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in India- with a growth rate of 10% per annum- the generation of e-waste is increasing exponentially every year. This can be attributed to globalization of the economy making electronic products an integral part of our lives. Also, India’s low manufacturing costs, skilled labour, raw materials, availability of engineering skills and opportunity to meet demand in the populous Indian market have contributed significantly to facilitate the growth of the electronics industry. Thus, E-waste management has become an immediate and long term concern as its unregulated accumulation and recycling can lead to major environmental problems endangering human health.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) recognizes this need and has designed hands-on three day training programme on E-waste Management from November 25-27, 2015 at CSE, New Delhi. The programme will cover issues and challenges, policies, regulations, effective strategies and best practices in collection, dismantling and recycling of end of life of E-waste. The programme will also focus on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and how can it be implemented effectively.

The objective of the programme is to build a cadre of professionals for efficient E-waste management. The programme will consist of lectures, class exercises, group work, Q&A sessions and field visits.

What participants will learn?

1.Introduction to e-waste: environmental and social issues
2. Understanding e-waste policy framework (existing and draft e-waste rules)
3. Concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
4. Good practices and case studies in collection and recycling
5. Strategy for better e-waste management

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), New Delhi is going to organise a hands-on two-day training programme aimed at giving practical exposure to participants on EIA with specific reference to wind power projects.

The objective of this programme is to enable stakeholders to understand the likely impacts of the project and allows them to make sound decisions during various stages of project development.

As of 2012, India has exploited only 18% of its total wind power potential. Majorly, the country’s total wind power potential is concentrated in the southern and western states- Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat. Most of these potential sites are located in the forest areas. To harness the maximum potential of wind energy with reduced impacts it thus becomes very important to undergo for an EIA for wind power projects.

CSE’s two day training programme to be held in Bangalore on 17-18 September, 2013, aims to address the following points:

• Why EIA is important for wind power project?

• Environmental and social issues associated with the sector

• Applicable policy, guidelines and legal provisions for the wind power sector  in India

• Comparison of  EIA process in different countries for wind power projects

• Data collection

• Prediction, evaluation and  assessment of impacts

• Importance of avian fauna assessment , technique and evaluation

• How to prepare an Environment Management Plan (EMP)

• Best practices associated with wind power sector

• Reviewing an EIA report for wind power project

   

CSE will bear the course fee of the workshop which would include the lectures, study material and food for two days.

Note: We are not making reimbursement for local travel and lodging

Centre for Science and Environment recognises this need and has developed a hands-on five-day training programme aimed at giving practical exposure to participants on EIA with specific reference to coal based power plant, cement, pharmaceutical, mining and others. After the programme, the participants shall have:

The programme will cover:

1. Exposure to all aspects of EIA, from its theory to the practical – such as better understanding regarding

• What data is required, how this data should be collected and interpreted, and significance of the data

• Effectiveness of the assessment methods

• What issues should be addressed in the Terms of Reference (TOR)

• Tools and thumb rules available to evaluate the environmental impact of projects

2. Better understanding of the EIA process – from screening, scoping, data collection to impact assessment as well as the role of public consultation

3. Better understanding of the environmental and social impacts of the industrial and developmental projects

4. Better ability to review EIA reports and identify its strengths and weaknesses

5. Increased ability to play active role in post-EIA monitoring.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an important tool to inform decision - makers, regulators and stakeholders, about the possible environmental, social and economic costs of the proposed project. To be effective, it requires the active involvement of all concerned stakeholders.

There is a genuine need to develop the capacity of the state-level regulators and state level expert appraisal Committee (SEAC) to screen and scope the EIA process, to conduct transparent public consultations and to evaluate the EIA reports, especially after the new EIA notification.
