  • Footfalls OBSTACLE COURSE to LIVABLE CITIES
    Front cover Footfalls OBSTACLE COURSE TO LIVABLE CITIES RIGHT TO CLEAN AIR CAMPAIGN 2009 CENTRE FOR SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT, DELHI IFC 2 he Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a public interest research and advocacy organisation based in New Delhi. The Centre researches into, lobbies for Tand communicates the urgency of development that is both sustainable and equitable. The scenario today demands using knowledge to bring about change. In other words, working India’s democracy. This is what we aim to do. The challenge, we see, is two-pronged. On the one hand, millions live within a biomass- based subsistence economy, at the margins of survival. The environment is their only natural asset. But a degraded environment means stress on land, water and forest resources for survival. It means increasing destitution and poverty. Here, opportunity to bring about change is enormous. But it will need a commitment to reform — structural reform — in the way we do business with local communities. On the other hand, rapid industrialisation is throwing up new problems: growing toxification and a costly disease burden. The answers will be in reinventing the growth model of the Western world for ourselves, so that we can leapfrog technology choices and find new ways of building wealth that will not cost us the earth. This is the challenge of the balance. Our aim is to raise these concerns, participate in seeking answers and — more importantly — in pushing for answers and transforming these into policy and practice. We do this through our research and by communicating our understanding through our publications.

  • Open Spaces & Water Bodies in Greater Mumbai
    Inventorisation of Open spaces & Water Bodies in Greater Mumbai PREFACE Mumbai, the largest metropolis of India and the third largest in the world, is a unique city. It enjoys both, a dense and multi cultural demographic diversity as well as a varied range of environmental features. There are rivers, natural drains, lakes, hills, forests and coastal features like beaches, rocky outcrops, mangroves and creeks. However, growth in population and changes in the State policies, in the past few decades has resulted in phenomenal construction activity adversely affecting all the environmental features. While the natural water bodies are fast disappearing through negligence, and uncontrolled development, the open spaces meant for recreation and sports are grossly inadequate, both in their numbers and in their areas, to address the bare minimum needs of Mumbai’s growing population. The Open Spaces, marked as Reservations on the Development Plan of Greater Mumbai, as Recreational Grounds, Play Grounds, Gardens etc, account for only 6% of the land area. On the other hand the locations of the existing water bodies are not even indicated on the Development Plan. This Development Plan was prepared in the 1980s, for which the survey was undertaken in 1980. Needless to say, that the ground reality of these reservations, after 30 years, is enormously different. The current reality therefore needs to be thoroughly examined on two levels: a) with respect to their deficiency and b) with respect to their current status and conditions. Only after such an assessment that an appropriate strategy can be devised; a strategy which will ensure the provision of Open Spaces that are both, adequate and accessible to all.

  • Executive Summary Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES)
    Executive Summary Payments for ecosystem services (PES) is a voluntary transaction for an environmental service (or a land use likely to secure that service), purchased by at least one environmental service buyer from at least one environmental service provider, if and only if the environmental service provider meets the conditions of the contract and secures the environmental service provision (Wunder, 2005). The basic idea behind PES is that those who provide ecosystem services – like any service – should be paid for doing so. PES therefore provides an opportunity to put a price on previously un-priced ecosystem services like climate regulation, water quality and flood regulation, and the provision of habitat for wildlife. In so doing, a PES market brings these formerly overlooked services into the wider economy. Neoclassical economics argues that if those responsible for managing provision of ecosystem services also benefit directly from them, the market should be able to protect and sustain these services (e.g. provisioning services, such as food and fibre; Engel et al., 2008). However, when benefits mainly accrue to others in society (e.g. downstream flood protection), markets often fail to reward service managers (e.g. upstream farmers or foresters). Conversely, some land uses and management activities provide benefits for landowners and managers at a particular location and time, at the expense of wider society. In response to this “social dilemma” (as it is characterised by Muradian et al., 2013), the concept of PES is gaining increasing attention as a way to pay for, or at the very least to make visible, the societal benefits of sustainable land management (Braat and de Groot, 2008).
