1 Resource Efficiency - An Indian View Ashok Khosla Chairman, Development Alternatives, Co-Chair, International Resource Panel Past President, IUCN and Club of Rome Member, Indian National Resource Panel G7 Alliance Yokohama, 22 February 2016

2 National Policies for Resource Efficiency Resources Addressed: Water Energy Land and Soils Construction Materials Transportation

3 National Institutions for Resource Efficiency Chronologically: National Productivity Council (1958) Bureau of Energy Efficiency (2002) National Water Mission (2011) Smart Cities (2014) Bureau of Indian Standards (Current)

4 Efficient Land Use National Land Utilisation Policy (2013): Reconciling competing and conflicting land uses Rural land tenure and management Urban and regional spatial planning 6 types of land use zones (LUZs) Each zone with local plans 1 Department of Land Resources, MoRD, GoI. Types of LUZs Areas Under Transformation Rural and Agricultural Urban Areas Industrial Areas Ecological Areas Hazard-Vulnerable Areas

5 Efficient Resource Use Fly ash notification, 1999(S.O. 763 (E)) and amendments Placed restrictions on use of top soil for brick manufacture and promoted use of fly ash for the same. National Urban Housing and Habitat Policy 2007 Promotes research to facilitate transition from conventional to innovative, cost effective and environmental friendly technologies. Draft Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules 2015 Encourages the use of recycled C&D waste products such as concrete, manufactured sand, paving blocks etc. in non-structural applications Draft Sustainable Sand Mining Management Guidelines, 2015 Ensures sustainable sand mining, resource quantification and encourages use of renewable and recycled materials like quarry dust, incinerator ash and manufactured sand (m-sand) as sand substitutes.

6 New Institution for Resource Issues Indian National Resource Panel Established 5 February 2016 under Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change

7 Other Initiatives in India on Resource Efficiency Sectors: Business (CII, FICCI, etc) Academic Research (IITs, Univ) Civil Society Media

8 Civil Society Initiatives on Resource Efficiency Areas: Conceptual Frameworks Land & Water Construction Materials Energy Cooking Lighting

9 Decoupling The Current Kit of Tools Resource Productivity thru Innovation Resource Reduction thru Substitution Resource Conservation thru Behavior Change Miniaturisation Durability Sharing of Underutilized Assets Biomimicry/Nature-based Solutions Doing More with Less

10 Efficiency is Meaningful ONLY if it is Built on Sufficiency

11 Resource Productivity is Meaningful ONLY if it ALSO RAISES Human Productivity and Wellbeing for ALL
