SUMMARY:APAC SPE GAIA Webinar: Grey to Green: The Tata Climate Change Initiative
DESCRIPTION:This is the 2nd SPE Gaia Talk in the Online APAC SPE GAIA Webinar Series.  Registration is free.   \nGo to   https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QaKx3wbNQwGgGp1feoMASg \nor press the Website link below \n  \nGrey to Green: The Tata Climate Change Initiative\nThe 2009 COP meeting in Copenhagen was seen as a pivotal moment for a global agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. With 115 world leaders present\, including President Obama and Premier Wen\, expectations were high. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called it a defining moment in the fight against climate change. The agreement recognized the need to limit global warming to below 2°C\, with a review by 2015 to consider a stricter 1.5°C threshold. However\, Copenhagen fell short of a breakthrough\, with major progress delayed until the 2015 Paris COP. \nAnticipating the summit’s importance\, forward-looking organizations like the Tata Group began early action. With interests in high-emission sectors such as steel\, aviation\, and power\, Tata established a Climate Change Centre of Excellence in 2008. Backed by a steering committee of senior leaders\, the COE focused on three levers: building a climate strategy\, measuring emissions\, and developing internal climate champions. This presentation shares Tata’s journey. \nPresenter\nArunavo Mukerjee is Professor of Practice in the Department of Sustainable Energy Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology\, Kanpur. Before transitioning to academia\, he spent over 30-years with India’s largest industrial conglomerate – the Tata Group – holding key leadership positions across five Tata companies in the energy sector in India\, Europe\, Africa\, and North America.\nHis expertise spans ESG\, sustainability\, climate change\, energy transition\, industrial decarbonization\, renewable energy technologies\, water/wastewater management\, and energy efficiency. Throughout his career\, he has worked at the crossroads of corporate leadership\, policy advocacy\, and technological innovation\, striving to accelerate the global shift toward sustainable energy solutions.
