Description
To overcome the ever-increasing shortage of natural resources and unsustainable waste management practices, a ‘comprehensive green protocol’ was required. In view of this, a consortium of experts and dignitaries from the partnering organizations (DSTE, PPCC, PU, and APSCC) had joined hands to conduct the “State-Level Awareness Program on Sustainable Waste Management – 2017-18”, a 30-day program conducted across all four districts of the Union Territory of Puducherry. The collective knowledge gathered from the program has resulted in the creation of the ‘Comprehensive Green Protocol’ as a guide for Universities, Colleges, Schools, Industries, Tourism Sector, Hotels, Hospitals, and other organizations to carry forward the stated missions of the program. The protocol is expected to serve as a tool and guide to all stakeholders to commit to Environmental Responsibility and Sustainable Development. thereby creating a healthy environment for the campuses and communities at large.

Expected outcome

​Reduction in water pollution and safeguarding of aquatic ecosystems. 

  • Improved soil health and fertility through sustainable farming practices. 

  • Enhanced food security and resilience of agricultural systems to climate change. 

  • Reduction in air pollution levels and improvement in air quality. 

  • Increased use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and biomass. 

  • Enhanced recycling and waste management practices. 

  • Reduction in the generation of waste and promotion of circular economy principles. 

  • Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. 

Further information

​Principles for the green protocol were adopted partially from UN Conference on Environment and Development called the Rio Declaration (1992) and Sustainable Development Goals (2016-2030). The Comprehensive Green Protocol (GCP) even includes a guide to implement and measure the result through factual means. The protocol was grouped under different heads such as Water Management; Soil Conservation and Sustainable Food Production; Clean Air; Energy Conservation; Sustainable Management of Waste Resources; and Sustainable Use of Natural Resources among Others.
