Way Forward. The nuclear cooperation agreement requires United States to amend its own domestic laws that were formulated as a result of India’s misuse of civil nuclear technology and exploding a nuclear device in 1974. US has also taken upon it to convince members of the nuclear suppliers group (NSG) for making India-specific exceptions, to benefit India from civil nuclear technology. Such preferential treatment for a singular country aimed at building strategic partnership does provide opportunity for the US to demand a degree of reciprocity and responsibility by India. If the agreement is not aimed at enhancing India’s NWs capability then US must insist on some tangible commitments that could restrict India from making any qualitative and quantitative improvements in its nuclear arsenal. US also needs to explore options that could bring India and Pakistan under non- proliferation obligations in order to exclude any future possibility of proliferation of nuclear technology from these two NPT outliers to the NNWS and at the same time enabling both to benefit from the exchange of peaceful nuclear technology.
Way Forward. It can be concluded that this analysis is a solid base for further studies on how to ensure gaps within policies can be filled. The various policies that were analysed may uncover gaps and other aspects which will be considered by deliverable D1.6 for consideration as recommenda- tion to policy-makers and makers of standards in the smart grid domain. Also SEGRID will conduct a survey among European smart grid stakeholders, to investigate how they use the policies that are available, what they think of the effectiveness of these policies and what they see as gaps in this area.
Way Forward. India needs sophisticated weapons and technology from Japan, so more collaboration and cooperation can prove beneficial to both nations. US-2 Amphibious Aircraft can land on either land or water. It is operated as a short takeoff and landing aircraft (STOL) Search and Rescue Amphibian by Japan's Ministry of Defense. There is huge potential as far as Make in India and defence deals are concerned. Joint ventures could be created by merging Japanese technology with Indian raw materials and labour. Closer cooperation is the best measure to combat China’s growing role in Asia and Indo-Pacific.
Way Forward. World leaders need to strengthen their joint efforts to realise the 17 global goals. Politicians, businesses and society altogether must urgently intensify their efforts and commit themselves to this agenda. All countries must take up the goals as part of their national development strategies, and ensure that they take responsibility for their impact on the rest of the world With combined and sustained efforts at the national and global levels, it will be possible to eradicate poverty and ensure a prosperous world for all. A strategy to address the lack of credible data could be a complete decentralization of the data collection process. The Government of India should promote and incentivize funding from corporate, business, and other for-profit entities as a crucial source for funding the SDGs. Making development efforts participatory and inclusive is an indispensable aspect for sustainable development. Undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources, ownership and control over land and other forms of property, financial services, inheritance and natural resources. State governments need to be mobilized to both understand and own the SDG targets, and engage in implementation accordingly Constitute a Parliamentary Forum on SDGs which can be tasked with providing direction, oversight and monitoring to the implementation process.
Way Forward. The Indian aerospace and defence ecosystem are emerging as a preferred manufacturing and sourc- ing hub with development of indigenous platforms and capabilities at par with global platforms. The defence manufacturers in Uzbekistan as well as the Uzbek government can leverage these emerging capabilities to realise the twin objective of cost and quality and fulfil the requirement of Uzbek defence forces. Stakeholders can take one of the approaches to realise this.
Way Forward. 4.1 The council and its partners should continue to introduce initiatives that will make a difference to the residents of Milton Keynes, regardless of final outcome as measured by the targets.
Way Forward. Taking into account the public comments received at the Stage 2 PEP, the Study Consultant will formulate the preferred option of enhancement proposals. The public will be engaged on the preferred option at the Stage 3 PEP to be undertaken in the first quarter of 2011. The engagement activities will include briefings to statutory and advisory bodies, the distribution of a feedback form to relevant stakeholders and small-scale roving exhibitions. In light of the public comments received at the Stage 3 PEP, the Study Consultant will finalize the enhancement proposals and formulate the recommended option.
Way Forward. 4.2.1 Air emission reduction to improve air quality ➢ SO2 emission reduction - to fundamentally change the energy structure in the PRD region by reducing the ratio of thermal power, while increasing the contributions of other clean energy, strictly implement the preferential policy for clean energy to gain priority access to electricity grid to increase the clean energy percentage; followed by optimizing thermal power structure and promotion of installation of electricity generation with large generation capacity, if needed. ➢ NOx emission reduction - NOx reduction programme could be launched in power plants to encourage reduction of NOx emission, promotion of installation of flue gas denitrification facilities, as well as adoption of advanced LNB technology. Such programme could be extended to petrochemical and non-metallic mineral products industry, etc. afterward. ➢ PM10 emission reduction - Hybrid Electrostatic Precipitator-Fabric Filter of particulate matter removal technology is recommended to apply in power plants. Grinding station without kiln process should be encouraged in the PRD region. When retrofitting of existing enterprises, NID technology is promoted to control PM emission. ➢ VOC emission reduction - Cleaner production shall be put as priority measures in the typical VOC industrial emission sources with solvent use, referred to the published technical guidelines for clean production, or practical guide for industry to implement cleaner production in Cleaner Production Partnership Programme in Guangdong and Hong Kong, oil depots and gas stations shall install vapour recovery system, while in the petrochemical and oil refining and other large factories, end-of-pipe control technologies, such as regenerative combustion technologies could be employed to reduce VOC emission.
Way Forward. Provide a plan for implementation of the project for the forthcoming period. Indicate if project will be completed within the original time frame or if an extension (subject to the approval of the NLC) of time is required. Indicate the anticipated completion date for the project.
Way Forward. Following consideration of the responses to this document, we will discuss with Transco and other interested parties whether any changes might be required to the generic SCA. We will also publish a document setting out our decisions on the issues covered in this consultation document. In the event that changes are required to the draft generic SCA, we would expect Transco to take them into account in submitting, for RTPA clearance, any SCA that is intended to come into effect on 1 December 1999.
