About Communicators’ Workshop on Renewable Energy in New Delhi 2023

Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) and the Science Journalists Association of India (SJAI) invite communicators from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to join a workshop on renewable energy in New Delhi from November 24-27, 2023. This workshop is open to communicators from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar only.

India is the world’s third-largest energy consumer, and its energy demand is growing rapidly. The country’s current energy mix is dominated by fossil fuels, but there is a growing focus on renewable energy. India has committed to meeting 50% of its energy requirements with renewable energy, reducing its projected carbon emissions by one billion metric tons, and reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030.

Program Details

The organizers will facilitate engagement between communicators, scientists, researchers, subject experts and policymakers, providing an opportunity to gain knowledge and deepen understanding of the promises and obstacles in the road ahead as India strives to increase the percentage of renewable energy in its total energy mix.

Participants selected for this workshop will join SJAI’s first conference on November 24. The EJN-SJAI sessions will be held on November 25-27.
