The State government is formulating a plan to transform Kerala into a zero emission State by the year 2050, Minister for Local Self Government M.V. Govindan has said.
The modern consumer culture was among the many factors contributing to global warming, he said on Friday, while inaugurating a seminar on Carbon Neutral Kerala organised as part of the Nava Keralam Mission.
“It is possible to cut greenhouse gas emissions in a phased manner through a coordinated project involving awareness programmes and popularisation of alternative systems as well as exploring means to capture and store carbon dioxide,” he said.
