The escalating threat of global warming and environmental degradation has become a defining challenge of our time. As the world grapples with climate change, there is an urgent need to adopt innovative strategies that integrate sustainability with technological advancement. This book, "Green Technology: An Innovative Solution for Environmental Sustainability", is a comprehensive endeavor to explore and address these pressing issues through focused modules, practical insights, and policy-based solutions. Module I introduces readers to the foundations of global warming, its physical definition, causes, and alarming consequences. It further explores the new carbon problem—its accumulation, longevity, and global heating potential. A special focus is laid on India’s emission status and responses through international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol and national initiatives such as the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). The module also lays out adaptive and mitigative strategies for ensuring the safety and resilience of local communities. Module II emphasizes the opportunities and procedures for controlling carbon emissions and accumulation. It sheds light on India's unique position to blend traditional and green power sources for optimal environmental benefit. The section further outlines business and policy frameworks, payment mechanisms, and promotional tools necessary to encourage carbon-conscious practices. The module concludes with a detailed overview of existing and emerging green energy technologies, cost comparisons, and the urgent need for R&D in the sector. Module III transitions the discussion to real-world applications of green technologies at personal, local, and citywide levels. From green buildings and energy codes to transportation, ports, industries, and village development, this module illustrates how sustainable innovations can transform urban and rural India. It also underscores the importance of integrating green infrastructure into town planning and municipal services, along with the role of public awareness and stakeholder participation. Module IV explores high-tech solutions aimed at achieving significant carbon reduction. This includes advanced tools like satellite-based solar systems, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and the use of microorganisms. A concise SWOT analysis highlights the strengths and limitations of such technologies. The module concludes with a recommended action plan based on India’s climate missions, global case studies, and tailored adaptive measures to safeguard vulnerable populations and ecosystems. This book is intended for students, researchers, policymakers, environmental professionals, and anyone passionate about creating a sustainable future. It aims to inform, inspire, and guide action by providing practical knowledge rooted in science, policy, and real-world success stories. We sincerely hope this work contributes meaningfully to the global discourse on climate action and green technology, and serves as a catalyst for change at all levels of society.
