Report On 5 Days Short Term Training Programme
on
Climate Change: Mitigation And Adaption
(2nd
January 2023 to 6th January 2023)
Since the beginning of industrial revolution, our
planet has suffered rapid changes in climate that include increasingly severe
droughts, increased depletion of groundwater reserves, seawater acidification,
rising seawater levels, the rapid spread of diseases, and the extinction of
species. Unless we intervene, these gradual climatic changes may prove
irreversible. Climate change refers to long-term shifts in
temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through
variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been
the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like
coal, oil, and gas.
When it comes to tackling climate change to minimise the impacts it causes in the
different systems of the our Earth , the
human being applies two types of measures: mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation
measures are collective actions that are taken to reduce and control
greenhouse gas emissions, essentially reducing the flow of heat-trapping
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere while adaptation measures are
based on minimising vulnerability to the effects of climate change and possible
adjustment to actual or expected future climate. Mitigation,
therefore, attends to the causes of climate change, while adaptation
addresses its impacts.
Department of civil Engineering, Vishwaniketan's
Institute Of Management Entrepreneurship & Engineering Technology (ViMEET). ViMEET is much
sensitive toward environmental issues and continuously working through critical
thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills to protect our own
environment and mitigation measures for climate changes. In this context Civil Department in association with IGBC (Indian Green
Building Council) organised a short term training program (STTP) to towards the systematic understanding of how
the timing and magnitude of impacts are likely to be affected by changes in
climate and sea level and more to minimise the effect on human and it's
environment.
planning to organise short term training
program to elaborate an overview on changing world, enhance knowledge of
changing world’s climate and its likely effect on man and materials. The main
objective of proposed short term training programme will be:
· To
understand process and responses of climate change
·
Review the principal impacts and vulnerabilities to climate change for
the case study
· To
find out optimum alternate sustainable energy resources
· To
understand need and benefit of green technology: Green building concept.
The major topic covered:
1.Climate Change : natural or
anthropogenic
2. Sea Level Changes:
Present and futures
3. Changing Environment:
Water and air quality
4. Use of Remote sensing
and GIS in Climate change Monitoring
5. Prevention and
Mitigation/ Sustainable approach towards climate change
6. Sustainable energy resources: Green hydrogen7
7. Green building: Present
scenario and future prospect
More than fifty-five participants from
PAN INDIA have attended the event. Participants from Jammu &Kashmir, Indian
Institute of Technology, Hydrabad, KLE technological university, Hubly, NIT
Surat, Rajasthan and various college of University of Mumbai registered for the
event.

The event started with the
words of wisdom by our visionary Dr. S. Inamdar
(Vice President
,Vishwaniketan), Principal Dr. B.R.Patil , and Dr. Mala (co-chairpersion Of
CII, Green building counsil).The training programme was introduced by Prof. Shilpa Deshpande ( HOD civil
engineering) and coordinated by Dr. suman Rawat, Prof. Pallavi dongare and Dr.
Heena Jain.
