Multiple actors must play their role in mitigating these consequences.
First, higher education institutes (HEIs) through their knowledge creation must prepare students for a sustainable future. Second, industries must develop technologies that are low-carbon and clean. Third, society must have more awareness of its responsibility in adopting sustainable practices.
Indian HEIs can play an important role in this through multiple paths—education, research and implementation of sustainable practices on their campuses in tune with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020's emphasis on sustainable development goals (SDGs). Among 17 SDGs, Goal 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and Goal 13 (climate action) are particularly relevant.
HEIs can realise carbon-neutral campuses by promoting solar power, energy-efficient building practices, and adopting waste reduction strategies in alignment with Goal 12 (responsible consumption and production).
