thThe 12 GCNI National Convention

United Nations Global Compact Network India (UN GCNI) held its 12th thNational Convention on 28 April, 2017 at Hotel Le Meridien, New

Delhi on the theme of 'Making Global Goals Local Business'. This

year the theme revolves around the UN Sustainable Development

Goals (SDGs) and mechanisms through which the corporate sector

can contribute towards the achievement of these ambitious goals. It

is one of the largest dedicated events on SDGs since UN's

announcement of the goals in New York in September 2015.

Making Global Goals

Local Business

Our guest of honor Ms. Lise Kingo; Executive Director, UNGC, New York; Mr. Dinesh K. Sarraf, President, GCNI and Chairman, ONGC; Ms. Namita Vikas, Group President & Global Head - Climate Strategy & Responsible Banking, YES BANK; Mr. Vishvesh Prabhakar, MD, Communications, Media & Technology, and Sustainability, Accenture Strategy, India and Mr. Kamal Singh, Executive Director GCNI; all the distinguished invitees, guests, media, ladies and gentlemen, it is a great pleasure and

thhonor to welcome you all to our 12 National Convention on Making Global Goals Local Business.

Global Compact Network India was launched in December 2000, the same year when the Global Compact was launched by UN in July. The Indian network was registered as the society in 2003 and soon after that GCN had organized the first National

Convention in 2004. In between GCNI had two regional conclaves for Asia Pacific - one in 2005 in Jamshedpur and another in 2010 in Delhi. We had the privilege of having Ms. Lise Kingo, Executive Director UNGC, New York in both the Conclaves, once in the National Convention and now. The Global Compact Network India has expanded, and had many activities since then under the leadership of the earliest President and present President of the network.

We have been continuously adding to our activities and to our research studies, especially on the cities program which launched recently under the anti-corruption project we had taken up; and, also a new thing which was done this time, is instituting awards for best practices in relation to the Global Network by the companies and other organizations. And today the awards will be presented in the last session here. We are proud to pursue the

Sustainable Development Goals which were adopted by the General Assembly in September 2015; and I would say it is only the beginning of the journey, we have a long way ahead. So, it is not just the 15 years that have passed since our first national session of the society, I think we have many more things to do. And we are also proud that we were invited and our invitation was accepted to host the global event which was held here for the first

thtime in India on 26-27 July, 2017 and it just ended yesterday.

The Annual Local Network forum which is held in different countries that is still going on, it will end today. And we are all, in the Indian Network, privileged to have this event here. We look forward to a great learning experience, I would call it. In this Convention, today, we have eminent speakers and I must thank you all for participating in the event.

Dr. Uddesh Kohli Member - Governing Council, GCNI and Chairman Emeritus, Construction Industry Development Council

Opening Session

Curtain Raiser Address –


Our guest of honour Ms. Lise Kingo, honorable chairman of ONGC, Mr. Sarraf, Dr. Kohli, Ms. Vikas, Mr. Kamal Singh, distinguished ladies & gentleman. It is my privilege to be standing amidst you to share the

th theme of GCNI's 12 National Convention - Making Global Goals Local Business India.

Over the past many years, UNGC and Accenture have collaborated extensively on several sustainability initiatives, globally as well as in India. Since 2010, UNGC and Accenture have been collaborating to write the Global CEO Sustainability Study. The first edition came out in 2010 in collaboration with GCNI and the second one came out in 2013. In 2016, we launched our third edition of the CEO Study on Sustainability.

In India, we had the to privilegepartner with Global Compact Network since 2013, when we launched the first India CEO Study on Sustainability. We followed that up with another study in 2015 – called the Sustainable Transformation of India 2015 and beyond. In 2016 we have also launched Industrial Water

Benchmarking study in collaboration with Global Compact Network India and ONGC.

With respect to the Sustainable Development Goals; in 2016, we had the privilege to become the first partner within the Global Compact Network to launch a country specific report on the Sustainable Development Goals on the theme of “Broadening the Horizon for India's Growth and Transformation”. And we had the proud privilege and honor to have Ms. Lise Kingo launch the report last year in Mumbai. The report essentially focused on demystifying the sustainable development goals and their relevance and potential opportunities for India. This year's report which we plan to launch today, take a step forward. It essentially tries to understand what the government, businesses and civil society are doing to adopt and implement the global Sustainable Development Goals as India embarks on a journey to achieve these goals by 2030. The genesis of today's theme essentially lies in the Accenture CEO Study on Sustainability 2016 where

we interviewed more than 1000 CEOs across 100 countries and 25 Industries. The four key findings that I want to share with you are:

87% CEOs believe the SDGs provide an opportunity to rethink approaches to sustainable value creation.

One in every two CEOs believe that business will be the single most important actor in delivering the SDGs.

Three out of four CEOs see digital technologies enabling more sustainable business models.

85% see cross-sector coalitions and partnerships as essential to accelerating transformation.

For today's session, the theme has been structured to foster discussions. We have 6 sessions focusing on SDGs and we will end the day by celebrating and identifying and awarding the best-case studies on SDGs in India.

Once again I would like to highlight that it has been a privilege to partner with the Global Compact Network India and would like to thank you all for your support and cooperation.

Mr. Vishvesh Prabhakar Managing Director, Communications, Media & Technology, and Sustainability, Accenture Strategy, India

Theme Address -


Ms. Namita Vikas highlighted the sustainable pathway forged by the SDGs 2015 for the people and the planet. She emphasized the important role of GCNI's 12 th

National Convention in encouraging the private sector to accelerate the progress on SDGs.

As per Ms. Vikas, India is witnessing four major changes in the form of IDEA

: Fastest Incredible Growthgrowing economy in 2016 at $2 trillion; slated to emerge as the third largest economy by 2030.

: Focused on Domestic Reformsaction and outcome to ease of doing business, creating a single market for goods and services, tackling corruption and Improving transparency.

: Environmental ImpactEmergence of a new middle class consumer segment making growth-related issues such as climate change evident.

: India is Active governancegradually emerging a leader in global climate finance space.

“Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals for a country

like India, with its unique challenges and opportunities, really requires a systematic response involving transformative changes notably in knowledge, policy and institutional systems from all sections of society”, said Ms. Vikas.

Ms. Vikas appreciated the Indian government's role and the traction generated by it for achieving the SDGs. She spoke of NITI Aayog's role in mapping the SDGs with government initiatives and their visible success.

She mentioned that there is a gap worth $560 billion of the estimated $960 billion financial support needed by India to achieve the SDGs. She acknowledged the pivotal role of policy level efforts but emphasized the need for equally ambitious finance planning to support the SDGs. Regarding the MSCI Sustainability Impact Index, she stated - “Interestingly, there are numbers backing up the moral imperative”. The index shows that companies which adopt SDGs at the core are performing at a good level. She reiterated the need for financial

institutions to take up an important role with a multipronged, 'glocal' (globally local) approach to meet India's requirements.

Ms. Vikas highlighted four key points in her address which were:

Internalizing the SDGs to core operations - driven from the top; and the commitment to achieve hardwired into core businesses.

Aligning financial products with sustainable development to channelize funds towards green initiatives.

Increasing access to sustainable finance through efforts such as green bonds and preferential pricing. Assessing and analyzing environmental, social and governance risks relevant to businesses, especially in crucial areas such as water, sustainable agriculture etc.

“The time to act is now and let us champion the cause and respond with fearless leadership to 'glocalize' the global goals”, Ms. Vikas concluded.

Keynote Address –


Ms. Lise Kingo conveyed her gratitude to the Global Compact Network India on behalf of the UN Global Compact for the hospitality and partnership extended towards UNGC flagship event 'Making Global Goals Local Business'.

Ms. Lise Kingo, spoke of the Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030 -

“In essence, they [the signing leaders] gave us a global plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. A plan of action with a universal set of goals and targets that empowers us all to deliver on the world that we all want. In particular, the 2030 agenda recognizes the importance of private sector in delivering the 17 global goals.”

Ms. Kingo elaborated on the mutual benefits of corporate responsibility,

highlighting the interdependency of the sustainable goals. She also shared UNGC's vision to mobilize a global movement of companies and stakeholders to create the world we want.

With less than 5000 days left to achieve the global goals, she emphasized on the importance of time and unified efforts. “Rich and poor countries, alike, need to align and embrace the global goals and close the gap for sustainable development. There is no country exempt. This makes the global goals universal and the movement global”.

She addressed the listeners as 'Change Makers' and emphasized the need for more 'Change Makers' to support the movement.

“With almost a sixth of the world population and an emerging superpower, India is key to drive breakthrough innovation and making 'Global Goals Local Business'. We

will not be able to deliver on the global goals without India. Indeed, if India delivers on the global goals, we will be half way through towards the 2030 agenda”, Ms. Kingo highlighted.

She spoke of the significant achievement of India in key areas of development over the past 15 years. Ms. Kingo also cited the 'Better Business, Better World' report dedicated to India, which paints an optimistic growth strategy, opening an economic prize of $1 trillion by 2030 for the Indian private sector. Over 72 million new jobs could be created in India by 2030 in India out of which around 11 million jobs are generated from low income food market alone. The report highlights that India has understood the potential investment opportunity and acknowledges infrastructure development and financing as top priorities.

Ms. Kingo elaborated the role of UN Global Compact in facilitating companies and stakeholders who share the vision to create the world we would want to live in. She also emphasized the need to learn and inspire each other and pursue joint opportunities.

Ms. Kingo noted that a robust accountability framework was needed to track global and local progress on the 2030 agenda. UNGC has launched a series of platforms to mobilize action in the direction of 'Global Goals, Local Business'. She was also delighted that many Indian companies have stepped up and are actively contributing.

To promote action, she quoted Nelson Mandela – “It all looks so difficult, until is done.” She anticipated the road to the 2030 agenda to be a bumpy one but urged

everybody to act upon the action platforms available to make the planet a better place to live for ourselves and

the future generations. She added that since there is nobody else to rely upon, there is no 'Plan B'. She closed her address by quoting Mahatma Gandhi – “Be the change you want to see”.

She reiterated that India shoulders the responsibility to deliver on the 2030 agenda for herself and the world.

Ms. Kingo elaborated the role of UN Global Compact in facilitating companies and stakeholders who share the vision to create the world we would want to live in.


He emphasized that implementing the SDGs is a responsibility that must be jointly shouldered by the government and the corporates.

He said - “The role of businesses will be extremely vital in the implementation of 17 SDGs. I assure you that Global Compact Network India is gearing up in aggregating, enabling and fast tracking the global goals. In doing so the founding principles of the Global Compact relating to the environment, labor standards, human rights and anti-corruption will guide and underpin the success of the Sustainable Development Goals”.

Mr. Sarraf spoke of the Theme Paper on 'Making Global Goals Local Business, India'. launched at the Convention which was in collaboration with Accenture. The publication focused on the relevance of SDGs for India, SDG framework to create business value, business case for acting in SDGs and key enablers in fulfilling the SDGs. He emphasized that it would be particularly useful for implementation of SDGs in India.

Presidential Address –

Kingo for being a part of the convention for second time and the international contingent for enriching the GCNI convention.

He introduced “Best Sustainability Practice Award” – an initiative to recognize, appreciate and showcase the finest examples of SDG implementation in businesses across the country. It attracted 47 entries in its introductory year.

Mr. Sarraf enthusiastically spoke of the strong commitment and proactive approach of the Govt. of India towards implementing the SDGs 2030 evident from the flagship initiatives such as 'Skill India', 'Digital India' etc. which are in line with the SDGs. He spoke of the 'New India' vision by the Prime Minister of India, wherein the vision for 15 years, roadmap for next seven years and short-term action for next three years were discussed.

Being optimistic about the government's efforts, he acknowledged the challenges and concerns faced by India such as insufficient resources, lack of data, and access to technology.

Mr. Sarraf traced the change in GCNI conference objective over the span of a year. The 11 National

th

convention held in Mumbai focused on creating awareness and providing an insight on the holistic framework of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015. The following year, GCNI made numerous partnerships & collaborations and meaningfully engaged with state governments for advancing SDGs.

GCNI shifted gears and is now focusing on implementation. He mentioned that the objective of the 12 National Convention was to

th

make an action plan for SDG leadership in consultation with leaders from business and the civil society organisations.

Mr. Sarraf mentioned the need for rich discussions on implementation of SDGs at the Annual UNGC International Conference, hosted in India for the first time over on 26-27 th

April, 2017.

GCNI took the opportunity to coincide the 12 National Convention th

along with this global event. He extended his gratitude to Ms. Lise

Dr. Karnatak introduced the white paper which is a business recommendation for public procurement policy in India. He emphasized the need for good governance and mentioned anti-corruption to be a reactive approach and therefore the need to change our mind set to seek solutions proactively.

He illustrated the solution through example such as laying emphasis on pre-tender meetings to understand reasons for low number of bids or bid failures. He

stressed on the importance of ethics to be at the core of all business processes. He expressed his gratitude to the team. The white paper was an outcome of the proceeds from the research done by UN Global Compact Network India, business deliberations by senior members of the procurement wing of prominent public and private sector industries and inputs from SMEs and legal experts. The white paper was released by Mr. Sarraf in the presence of other dignitaries.(Dr. Ashutosh Karnatak, Director - Projects, GAIL (India) Ltd

Mr. Singh acknowledged the huge th

response received on 12 National Convention, which reiterated the participants confidence in the SDGs and the thrust by Indian companies in pursuing the goals.

He brought attention to the key message evident from the preceding Addresses - the need for accelerated pace to achieve the SDGs.

The moderator started with emphasizing the importance of partnerships - understanding and synergizing with each other. He said that the emergence of the PPP

model has helped to optimize resources and bring in collective expertise across sectors. The new CSR law is leading to partnerships between private organization and civil society organization has culminated into tremendous amount of work being done in India.

Carrying the discussion forward, Mr. Chaudhry spoke of Schneider Electric's engagement in sustainability especially in the energy domain.

According to him, digital era has transformed the physical boundaries for businesses, reducing difference between global and local goals. Despite being a developing country, India has an imperative to contribute to SDGs

especially since the adverse effects of global climate change will hugely impact India.

He believed that digital technology is the next big opportunity for driving energy sustainability in India. Increasing energy efficiency and ensuring energy access to everyone is something where Schneider as a company is exclusively focusing. It has partnered with around 256 NGOs across India with an aim to provide renewable energy to rural areas. This not only helps the company to increase its reach but also helps in delivering national COP21 commitments.

Adding to this discussion, Dr. Ramachandran said that BASF and its culture of innovation has helped

the company in contributing to SDGs globally as well as locally. The company focuses its efforts in innovation on contributing towards three areas: climate change and pollution, urbanization and quality of life, and quality and quantity of food.

To foster innovation through partnerships, the company has adopted a model of co-creation for coming up with ideas for innovation. For example, to tackle the problem of water scarcity in Mumbai slums, the company brought together NGOs, National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, private companies like SUEZ, and people living in slums and came up with around 150 innovative ideas which were then presented as a whitepaper to the Maharashtra Government.

Another example of partnership is where the company worked with Directorate of Rice Research to reduce water consumption in rice production by 50%, which was then expanded to 10 cities.

Although he emphasized the need for trust and transparency between the private sector and the government to build effective partnerships, he stressed more on the need for a change in mindset wherein both the parties look up to each other as contributors to the society. He said that the change needs to be more rapid if we must deliver on the SDG goals globally and locally.

“Partnership is very critical today for coming up with innovation that has relevance to the society.”

“Private sector has to change the mindset of pursuit for profit. Profit has to be a contribution that private sector makes to the society and private alone cannot be a motive.”

Mr. A K Balyan added that Reliance is helping the government in its aim to transition to a more cleaner fuel economy. He emphasized the need to address issues in the gas market such as pricing, sustainability, market development etc. since majority of the fuel is imported. According to him, the focus for India should be around:

1. Eradication of poverty

2. Tackling inequality and injustice existing in the system

3. Moving to sustainable efforts towards climate change control

He acknowledged the individual efforts being made by the corporates to support the SDGs, and signaled the necessity to consolidate these efforts through collaboration platforms and create substantial impact.

He introduced a fresh perspective of looking at efforts towards the SDGs as a way of doing business for a better future rather than philanthropy. The top management needs to update the systems factoring in the aspirations of the society. He probed the businesses to introspect on 'Business for what?' which would help them progress towards the goals.

Mr. Lalit Kumar Gupta began by emphasizing the crucial role of India in the success of SDGs and how the goals are relevant for

India. He highlighted the efforts by the government and corporates. He spoke of the need to collaborate and work harmoniously together to deliver on the unified objectives of sustainability. To illustrate the same, he quoted Essar's efforts to bring in world-class refining technology to enable reduced Sulphur emissions – an effort to combat climate change.

He spoke of the shift in the mindset of businesses from 'for profit' motive to a more conscious effort to make a difference to lives. He gave an example of such synergistic efforts wherein training local community youth created an employable talent pool and reinforced the society where the plant operated. He spoke of the multiple job opportunities created at petrol pumps for women and students.

He emphasized the need for collaboration between the various stakeholders and the corporates. He highlighted the important of the NGOs for the subject knowledge of the grass root level. He also highlighted how grassroots agencies like district administration are key to successful implementation of last mile initiatives. The panel was followed by a question and answer session.

Food Security & Poverty Alleviation

(From Left – Right: Swami Agnivesh, Mr. Sridhar Venkat, Dr. Hameed Nuru, Dr. Amir Ullah Khan, Mr. Tom Thomas, Dr. Nitin Puri)

Dr. Nuru set the context of the discussion by providing facts regarding India's status. India fairs poorly on world rankings such as hunger index where it stands 97 in 118 countries.

He highlighted the essential role of infrastructure, institutions and manpower in the food safety network in India.

Dr. Hameed Nuru initiated the discussion by posing two questions to the Panel:

1. Given the complexity, would India achieve its goals by the year 2030?2. What are the transformative changes to achieve it?

Swami Agnivesh had a positive outlook towards India achieving the goal provided we made a huge change in thought process. He introduced hard hitting facts that 21,000 people die of hunger every day. The reason for slow success of the goals was the lack of empathy and relatability. A change

in perspective 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – The World is a Family' would

bring in the necessary sense of urgency. He countered the current form of functioning towards solving the issues i.e. Resources – land, water etc. getting privatized for profit and then a certain amount being diverted towards charity. A shift to people at the ground level getting ownership and governments acting as trustees is a more viable solution to the problems.

He ended with a closing request to move from a pursuit of profit to pursuit of humanity.

Mr. Sridhar Venkat shared his faith that India would be able to achieve the goals and had three points for the transformative changes needed:

1. Own consciousness needs to be brought to the fore2. Collaborate to achieve goals 3. Monitoring and evaluation, and adoption of best practices

He emphasized on the need for technology and for individual and collective efforts to achieve the goals.

He added that technology should aid people and not displace people. He mentioned the pressing need for awarding and incentivizing achievements to encourage movement towards the goals and adoption of best practices.

Mr. Tom Thomas also had full faith in India's ability to achieve the goals by 2030 and added his transformative change areas:

1. Shift in mindset away from growth through trickledown effect2. Poverty is not just income poverty 3. Primary sector needs to be the focus area

He made a valid point wherein if we look at 25 years' data, even though the GDP has grown remarkably, there has not been significant increase in employment. India is still reeling under abject poverty.

A change in mindset of treating poverty just in terms of monetary income is needed. According to him, caste and ethnicity are also relevant factors. He emphasized the need for creating conducive social conditions at the grass root level.

He stated that the need of the hour are fair wages, prices and fair trade practices, possible only through structural reforms with government efforts and political mandates. Dr. Khan cast his doubts regarding the ability of India achieving its goals by 2030 if the following concerns we not tackled

1. Existing gender gap 2. Existing regional imbalances and prevalence of vulnerable sections of the societies3. Same solution for a problem which continues to exist would not work

According to him, it is necessary to understand the specific needs of people from the vulnerable sections and tackle the problem with targeted solutions. It is important to drive better solutions from data. Mr. Nitin Puri was optimistic about India's success story. Transformative changes required for the success, per him were:

1.Sustainable agriculture 2.Improved risk management3.Addressing climate change

He highlighted the unfavorable state of agriculture currently with insufficient incentives in the sector. Agribusiness therefore, he believed, is a key enabler with need for better safety nets for farmers in addition to price support. Integration of stakeholders, the agricultural value chain, green financing and large infrastructure projects per him are necessary to deliver on the goals of hunger and poverty.

Dr. Hameed Nuru summarized the discussion by the panel and then probed the panel further:

1. Views on the way forward 2. A take home message for everyone

Swami Agnivesh was in favor of a bottom-up approach, as opposed to the percolation theory that works top-down. The key message conveyed was need for social justice and an inclusive attitude.

Mr. Venkat emphasized on movement through awareness as the way forward and reiterated the importance of monitoring & evaluation of performance parameters for achieving the goals.

Mr. Thomas said fair practices and taking responsible decisions was the way forward. Also, he emphasized on zero tolerance for Human Rights violations.

Dr. Khan recommended increasing the spend on critical areas for hunger and poverty.

Mr. Puri gave the example of the “White Revolution” to drive home the point that India can achieve a lot if it can put the mind to it, coupled with passion and focus.

The panel then answered queries from the audience.

Clean Water, Sanitation and Clean Energy

(From Left – Right: Mr. Dipak Dasgupta, Mr. Sandeep Roy Choudhury, Dr. Shalini Sarin, Dr. H Chaturvedi, Mr. Anirban Ghosh, Ms. Meenakshi Batra)

The moderator for the session, Mr. Chaturvedi laid the context for the discussion by stating that currently India is performing poorly in terms of ensuring water availability and water quality. Around 7.5 crore people in India do not have access to water. Moreover, a large chunk of Indian population does not have access to proper sanitation thereby multiplying health and sanitation issues.

When it comes to energy, India is still largely dependent on pollution-causing fossil fuels. Additionally, pollution levels are expected to rise as more people in the country get access to energy. Therefore, it is significantly important that India take actions towards providing clean water, sanitation, and clean energy for all.

Taking the discussion forward, Dr. Shalini Sarin described how Philips is providing sustainable lighting to the people living in dark. A lot of people in India do not have access to light. She explained how light forms an essential element for driving education, empowerment, safety and health. As our population continues to rise, so will the energy demand and with the limited amount of resources available, the problem of inequitable access may aggravate further.

The dependence on energy for lighting purposes can be reduced by 80% by using LED lights, she said. Philips has been contributing to the SDGs through LEDfication -providing access to light in off-grid areas, conserving energy, and being carbon neutral.

Moderator: Dr. H Chaturvedi,Director, Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH)

Mr. Dipak Dasgupta predicted that India was likely to achieve all the 7 sub-targets mentioned under SDG7 for clean energy. In contrast, in clean water and sanitation we are trailing far behind the targets and likely to miss by a large margin at current rate of intervention.

He suggested the stark difference between progress of the two SDGs was primarily because of large corporate investment in clean energy and very less for clean water and sanitation. Therefore, he recommended that corporates invest resources in opportunities beyond their business goals to ensure delivering on all SDGs, and not just a few.

Ms. Meenakshi Batra highlighted the need for community level innovations and low cost technologies that can be easily managed by people at the grassroot levels. She highlighted the need to have an integrated view on the SDGs as most of them are interlinked and indirectly impact each other.

Mr. Sandeep Roy Choudhury stressed the need to increase adoption of different technologies, which need different kinds of support - ranging from funding to a behavioral change.

He highlighted the problem associated with lack of knowledge sharing - reinventing the wheel. Companies end up running pilots of technologies and systems that have already been tested elsewhere. This results in wastage of resources as well as creates a barrier to faster adoption of technologies.

Therefore, he suggested that companies should learn from each other and understand what kind of support is needed for a technology to have an impact.

Adding to this, Mr. Ghosh debated whether all consumption purposes require clean water in the first place. He cited avenues in industrial and agricultural applications which could use treated water instead of fresh water.

Talking about sanitation, Mr. Ghosh said that sanitation can solve the problem of both clean water and energy. In Mahindra World City, Chennai - solid waste is treated to produce water as well as natural gas which is used as a fuel in public transport buses. He said, there is a need to view solid waste as a potential resource and not as a waste.

Mr. Ghosh was optimistic about the momentum that Indian has gained in clean energy sector and expects all energy to be non-fossil based by 2030.


The session started with Mr. Ganguly giving a brief overview about current energy consumption patterns in India and their projections till 2040. He explained that renewable energy and natural gas are the fastest growing forms of energy in India. However, when we account for the quantum of

production, coal is still the most widely used form of energy, while natural gas plays a minor role.

Further, he added that even the share of renewables in overall consumption is low despite a significantly large production capacity due to their low payload factor (PLF). Looking at the power sector in India, it is evident that the share of renewables is increasing and the PLF of thermal power stations is coming down. As a result, it is projected that by 2022, 1.75 GW of power consumption will be met by renewables out of which 1 GW will entirely be solar power. This high dependency on solar power is expected to cause load imbalances especially during night time. Such load imbalances are either met through hydroelectric power, electric storage systems or gas based power across the world. To strengthen the case for gas, he discussed several drawbacks of

hydro power and electric storage system and how these drawbacks can be overcome by using gas as a source of energy. For instance, hydro power is being highly regulated for irrigation purposes and electric storage systems still face various technological challenges preventing their scaling up. In such a situation, gas powered electricity generation proves to be an exciting proposition for load balancing because of its low ramp up and ramp down time. Moreover, gas can very well be used in conjunction with renewable energy to provide seamless energy supply.

It is necessary that gas based plants be given the green fuel advantage like renewables, ancillary services and the access to capacity markets to fully exploit the potential of this resource. He ended his part of discussion by emphasizing that gas-fired power plants not only create low pollution

Sustainable Energy for all – Role of Gas

Session 3

but they also have the highest efficiency when compared to other modes of power generation.

The moderator, Mr. Suvojoy Sengupta mentioned how energy complexes around the world are in a state of transition fueled by fluctuating oil prices and technological changes. A big driver of this transition is the focus on sustainability with the emergence of international climate change accords, COP 21 and the national commitments that different countries have made. Despite all this, energy demand will stay, and therefore it is necessary to look at diversifying its sources.

He also added that the global share of natural gas has increased and is about 24%, whereas it has decreased to about 7% in India. This is mostly due to lack of

domestic gas supply, high import prices, and insufficient infrastructure.

Dr. Anuraba Ghosh emphasized the need to understand sustainability as a mutual coexistence of its three pillars: social sustainability, economic sustainability and environmental sustainability. Any one of the pillars without the others will not translate into sustainability in its true sense. More often than not the proponents of renewables only consider the environmental benefits of using renewable energy without taking into account its economic or social viability. He emphasized that no one of source of energy be it coal, gas or renewables has the potential to meet the growing energy demand. Therefore, it is necessary that we look at energy consumption basket as a mixture of coal, gas and renewables.

He also added that gas can also be used to mitigate the risks associated with volatile crude oil prices thus providing energy security to our economy in times of energy crisis.


“If we can begin to think little bit more strategically as renewables plus gas, rather than renewables versus gas; gas beyond electricity, and gas reframed in a new nuanced definition of India's energy security; then the scenario for gas will look less bleak than what it looks today.”

Mr. Ranganathan reiterated that we need to look at renewables and gas as complementary sources of energy. According to him, increase in the number of Re-Gasification facilities and expansion of gas infrastructure are key to boosting the gas sector in India. Once this is achieved, there is also a need to improve the city gas infrastructure to promote the use of gas beyond just electricity. He envisions a very bright future for natural gas in India fueled by the government's commitment to increase share of gas to 15% and initiatives like the smart city mission. He also added that the current policy framework hinders widespread use of gas energy. A coordinated approach is required from the government to streamline policies that truly support and promote the use of natural gas.

Mr. Suvojoy Sengupta

India and the fact that 75% CEOs believe technology would be a key enabler, he set the context for the discussion around the role of digital in achieving the SDGs.

He asked Mr. Abhishek Ranjan to demystify digital and share his vison for digital. Mr. Ranjan explained digital in its elements – social, mobile, artificial intelligence, and cloud. He mentioned about the rapidly changing landscape enabled by digital, and how it was changing the way business was done. He appreciated the Jan - Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile (JAM) trinity and said that digital is the new way of life.Mr. Prabhakar then probed Mr. Bhavnani about his experience in driving financial inclusion through digital. Mr. Bhavnani started by sharing the scale of the untapped market - 3 billion people at the bottom of the

pyramid – which could be taken as a challenge or an opportunity. He conveyed YES Bank's clear alignment to the SDGs and enumerated the challenges faced by finance: Accessibility Affordability Availability

He shared an example solving accessibility to financial services. 'YES Money' made financial solutions accessible to the migrant workers.

Mr. Singh from Accenture Strategy then elaborated on how digital would play an enabling role in education and skill building in the long run. He set the context for the discussion by sharing some key statistics to show the enormity and pervasiveness of digital media.

The moderator introduced the topic by mentioning the increasing prevalence of digital in our personal lives by the means of social media and technology touchpoints. Considering that 50% impact of SDGs is expected to come from

PLENARY SESSION 2

(From Left – Right: Mr. Sundeep Singh, Mr. Chandan Bhavnani, Mr. Vishvesh Prabhakar, Mr. Abhishek Ranjan)

14% of global economic activity happens on digital media

One third of global population interacts on digital media per minute

About 190,000 new apps are created around the world every minute

Taking cue from the global trend, he further shared details in an Indian context. Globally, about 100 Crore new internet users are expected to come aboard between 2015 to 2020; of which 40% are expected to be from India. India is driving a wave of change, of digital disruption.

Turning attention to the specific developmental needs of India, he shared the two broad challenges in education provision -

In terms of availability Access:of schools, teachers. Only 2% of government schools impart education up to class 12 showing capacity constraints.

Challenges in rigor of Quality:management, handling absenteeism, content quality etc. Recent report suggested about 80% engineers are non-employable due to skill gap. Further almost 50% grade 5 students surveyed cannot read class 2 books. This shows that gaps exist at all levels.

He said that digital is a new medium which connects the gap between demand and supply seamlessly and at scale, thereby overcoming challenges of infrastructure and quality.

Mr. Ranjan shed light on some more examples of application of digital technologies and opportunities for business in the space of education, owing to the relevance of the sector for India.

He began with discussing about the makeup of the global workforce

by 2020, where 90% would be millennials. He spoke about the readiness and awareness of this segment for digital. He shared that in the next 5 years, automation may eliminate about 30% of all the jobs. To ensure preparedness, it is necessary to begin skilling at the entry level education. Mr. Prabhakar steered the discussion to another extremely relevant sector – Healthcare.

Mr. Bhavnani spoke on how digital is getting leveraged to improve the state of healthcare in India. He started by contrasting the doctor to patient population in India (1:17000) against the WHO recommendation (1:1000).

Acknowledging the mammoth task of improvement is, he said digitalization would be instrumental in raising accessibility. He briefly explained efforts in the direction of digitalizing health records through Blockchain, wherein every prescription and medicine is like a deposit.

The moderator Mr. Prabhakar shared another interesting example of digitization of health records for children leveraging IoT technology called Khushi. It retrieves all the

records at a simple scan of a neckpiece worn on the traditional black thread to ward off evil. It allows precise intervention and reduce errors. Mr. Singh shared examples on how digital is transforming agriculture. India is primarily an agrarian society with 60% of the GDP coming in from agriculture. He brought out the irony that despite the importance of agriculture, India is plagued by challenges of hunger and poverty – with 1 in 3 under nourished child being from India and 1 in 4 overall undernourished people from the world. As per him, digital holds immense potential to counter the challenges facing agrarian activities by:

1. Improving productivity 2. Minimizing losses

He shared how precision agriculture, through combined applications of IoT, drones, big data, sensors etc. can help minimize losses.

The moderator brought in the aspect of bottlenecks and challenges that needed to be overcome by India to make all the solutions a reality.


Mr. Ranjan said that even though mobile revolution has helped the country, data connectivity is still lagging. He shared that cost of data connectivity in India is 6 times that of China.

The moderator brought in the need for a multi-pronged approach and shared the evolution journey of civilization along water sources, to roads, to broadband highways in the future. He requested Mr. Bhavnani to throw light on global best practices which India can quickly absorb. He spoke highly of the JAM trinity case study which has a lot to teach to the world – securely tracking the data for 1.3 billion people.

Mr. Singh spoke on the key enablers that help scale up the digital economy. He highlighted the following as important areas.

Infrastructure development

Inter-operability of systems.

Stakeholder readiness – governments, corporates, citizens etc.

The moderator wrapped the panel discussion by asking the panel their action agenda as the Chief Digital Officer of India over the next 12 months.

Mr. Ranjan mentioned the following -

1. Literacy – digital and financial

2. Rigorous cybercrime policy needed to be more robust and tighten security 3. E-waste problem to ensure it does not harm the society Mr. Bhavnani mentioned the following -

1. 3D policy - Digitization, Deregularization, Demonetization

2. Convert alliances into relations connected through technology

Mr. Singh mentioned the following -

1. For infrastructure, create the required ecosystem and facilitate mobilizing resources through PPP

2. Focus on skills building to make sure people can harness the potential

3. Catalyze and build an appetite for change and innovation, not incremental but transformation change

The panel took questions from the audience before the session closed.


Need for Effective Governance, Ethics and Transparency for ensuring Safeand Sustainable Cities (SDG 11)

(From Left – Right: Mr. Ramesh Sharma, Mr. Ranjan Kumar Mishra, Mr. Michael Nolan, Mr. Neville Gandhi, Mr. Parvez Hayat, Dr. Kulwant Singh)

Mr. Nolan started the session with a presentation. He highlighted that there are aspects of rapid urbanization and sustainable development of cities which are important but the most crucial element for execution is governance. Governance allows for transparency, thereby enabling involved parties to trust each other and function seamlessly. He presented a business case for transparency through illustrations of UN Global Compact cities program and reiterated the fact that good governance is crucial when driving towards partnerships for implementations such as these. Mr. Hayat brought in an interesting aspect of the smart cities being relevant and equally successful for the marginalized people as well. Dr. Singh highlighted that while the smart city discussion restricts to the filtered out 100 cities, but the Indian landscape consists of around 8000 cities and that is

extremely important to keep in mind.

Mr. Sharma brought in the aspect of shift in ideology towards smart cities having their own governance and quoted the Prime Minister – maximum governance and minimum government.

The moderator, Mr. Nolan, then opened the discussion by posing the question as to why transparency is important for smart cities and the challenges associated with it. To that, Mr. Kumar suggested that he was positive about the response in Pune Smart City with respect to readily absorbing the good practices of compliance and self-governance through IT tools. The transparency aspect has shown its positive response with investors.

PLENARY SESSION 3

Mr. Nolan asked Mr. Gandhi about his aspirations from Pune City as a role model in terms of trust and transparency. Mr. Gandhi showed full faith in Pune rising to the occasion and demonstrate the highest standards in ethical and clean governance. He suggested that the inroad of transparency will attract more investors and other private sector institutions.

Mr. Nolan posed a question to Dr. Singh regarding effective partnering models considered, from across the world as well, for funding

infrastructure development. Dr. Singh opened his comment by first setting context that smart cities are where the priorities are set correctly. He highlighted that Government funding is limited and therefore, garnering funds from the private sector is extremely crucial. He also highlighted a challenge in maintaining a balance between the permanently elected body and the specifically instated 'Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)'. He touched on the three pillars of the new urban agenda:

Urban planning: To overcome infrastructure gaps

Rules and regulations: For better governance, transparency and ethics

Robust financial planning

Mr. Kumar compared current attempts for smart cities with prior attempts – and suggested that now, the difference is visible through the scale and focus on inclusivity.

The moderator and the panelists then answered questions posed by audience.
