8 powerful yet simple lifestyle changes to reduce India’s carbon footprint
68
India is the world’s third-largest carbon emitter, just behind China and the US. While China’s decarbonisation rate currently stands at 6 per cent, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) report titled, ‘Low Carbon Economy Index 2015’ indicates that India’s carbon emissions due to electricity generation rose 8.2 per cent in 2014.
India has to make rapid strides to meaningfully contribute towards limiting global warming. Last year, at the Paris Climate Conference, India filed its climate action plan, wherein it said it would reduce its carbon emissions by 33 – 35 per cent from 2005 levels, as well as have mechanisms in place, which will assure that 40 per cent of the country’s electricity would come only from renewable sources, such as wind and solar; all by 2030.

On Monday, the University provided an all-staff update on its ongoing analysis of underpayment.
Last August, the University admitted to underpaying staff approximately $8.8 million. PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC) were employed to comprehensively analyse staff underpayments from January 2014 onwards, to identify instances where staff may have been paid incorrectly.
The audit has confirmed that the majority of underpayments relate to the miscalculation of overtime and minimum engagement entitlements for casual and professional staff. Several academic and non-casual professional staff were also affected.
