The financial institutions have an important role to play when it comes to reducing environmental and social risk associated with a project. Their role becomes significantly important considering severe capacity gap with different institution entrusted with the job. Therefore, it is imperative for the financial institutions to conduct a proper due diligence of a project before financing them. This will not only save them from reputational risk but also from financial risk. Considering the role financial institutional can play in ensuring environmental compliance and social acceptance of a project, Centre for Science and Environment is organizing a two days workshop on“Environmental and Social Risk in Project Financing” that will address the issue of proper environmental and social risk assessment during financial due diligence and why it is important for the financial institutions. The workshop will be held at Mumbai in December 2015. The objective of the workshop is to understand the importance of duediligence process, how it is being implemented by financial institution in the country and the ways by which this process can be made more effective and much better.
Centre for Science and Environment would like to invite candidates to submit a paper for the above mentioned workshop. This workshop will act as a platform for researchers and practitioners to present new research and developments in the area of environmental and social risk issues, and how the financial institutions can help minimize these risks and effectively cut down their losses and NPAs.
Kindly indicate your intention to submit your full paper to the email address given below with the title of the paper, authors, and abstract. The full manuscript, as a PDF file, should be emailed to this address on or before the given deadline. Authoring guidelines/specific format shall be mailed to you after the review panel receives your letter of intent.
The selected authors will be invited to present their paper(s) at the workshop. CSE would be providing travel and stay expenses for the selected speakers, and give them honorarium for their paper and presentations.

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. At the same time, there is a need among CBO, NGOs, academicians, and environment managers to review and interpret EIA report, as they are technical in nature.
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:
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.
COURSE FEES:
Rs 15,000 for developers, government officials and consultants,

The picture is of a floating barrier made to arrest floating trash or garbage, designed by Bengaluru based AlphaMERS (patent applied). This does not treat chemical or dissolved pollutants. This design, originally made with River Ganga in mind, will now be applied to lakes and water streams with flowing waters. Long sections of such barriers are connected end to end, running from the riverbank or shore, laid diagonally across the flowing waters, and held in place by anchors. The water flows past, while trash is arrested by the barrier. Smaller particles are allowed to flow past to keep the resistance to water flow reasonably low. This trash slowly slides to the shore or bank from where municipal channels takeover and can easily recover /dispose. The water body now starts to look cleaner.
The fast growing economy, rapid industrialization and growing urban population in India along with increasing wastewater generation are some of the major reasons for concern and reiterate the need for appropriate water management practices.
