Shifts in Consumption Patterns, Waste Management, and Decentralized Energy Services
Shifts in consumption patterns in developing countries should enhance development. Bioenergy, waste management, and circularity are interconnected and promote circularity and are important in India. There are opportunities for young people to innovate with upcycling and waste material, such as making agarbatis from discarded temple flowers. The scope for decentralized energy services to enhance productivity in rural areas is significant, as seen in examples like Selco's use of renewable energy for cold storage and agricultural processing. Renewable energy can increase purchasing power and livelihood opportunities for rural consumers in India.
