India's higher education sector must step up as a test bed of tech innovation and behavioural change for a sustainable future

The challenge of climate change and an opportunity of technological advancement are important features of India's growth journey. Using emerging technologies for sustainability is the mantra and our higher education sector can play a key role in achieving this by empowering a 'green generation' and catalysing a transformation.
Optimize sustainability through technology: The use of modern technologies could mainstream sustainability on university and college campuses. The idea is not only to facilitate sustainable practices and foster innovation, but also harness the power of data. According to a global survey, 87% of climate leaders regard artificial intelligence (AI) as a useful tool in battling climate change. Through the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, campuses can collect real-time data on energy and water consumption, allowing for inefficiencies to be identified and enabling data-driven decisions. Machine learning (ML) algorithms can analyse this data to optimize system operations, leading to more efficient resource management. They can pinpoint suitable locations for installing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, optimize bike-sharing routes and enable data-driven green architecture. Certain Al systems integrate weather, climate and operational data to help organizations mitigate climate risks and enhance resilience while meeting sustainability goals. ML-based virtual modelling can facilitate prototyping and testing of localized renewable energy systems. Pairing IoT sensors with big data analytics can optimize energy and water use while tracking emissions across campuses through an interconnected digital mesh. Certain Indian startups have helped clients reduce electricity consumption by 30% using smart energy metering.
