About the Conference:
The Centre for Regulatory Studies, Governance and Public Policy (CRSGPP) has taken a humble initiative towards achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through an extensive research project named 'Project: Carbon Mapping at WBNUJS'. This project aims to conduct a study on carbon sequestration & oxygen generation potential of common tree species in WBNUJS campus and some other identified areas for a comparative study. Carbon Emissions have become one of the major reasons for climate change around the world, prompting an incessant need to monitor, map and regulate carbon emissions.

As an extension of this project, the CRSGPP is organizing a 'Two-day International Conference' on 'Climate Change: Impact, Management Law and Policy Formulation'. Through the conference, CRSGPP aims to enlighten other institutions of taking up similar initiative towards monitoring of carbon mapping impact on environment. With valuable insights from Legislators, Executives and members of Judiciary, the seminar aims to highlight all the major ecological, legal and global concerns related to 'Carbon Mapping' through a comprehensive way.
