How you too can have exciting research careers - A rocket scientist & startup founder talks @IITalks
Watch More VideosThe term "moonshot" originated from the ambitious vision set forth by US President John F. Kennedy to land a man on the moon and safely return him to Earth within a decade. This visionary goal, achieved by NASA in just eight years, brought remarkable benefits to global science, technology, and the economy. Similarly, overcoming the climate change challenge before 2050 might require moonshots—extraordinary, ambitious, and sometimes seemingly impossible initiatives.
India, which is grappling with vast environmental challenges and striving to meet ambitious climate goals, moonshots could be the key to driving large-scale decarbonization. By leveraging its strengths in innovation, technology, and a growing commitment to sustainability, India can pioneer moonshot initiatives that transform its energy landscape, reduce emissions, and promote sustainable development.
Moonshot Landscape:
International Solar Alliance (ISA)
National Hydrogen Mission
Carbon Clean Solutions
Skyroot Aerospace
Hydroelectric Storage Systems
India's journey towards decarbonization necessitates extraordinary, ambitious initiatives, often referred to as moonshots. These high-impact projects can transform the nation's approach to tackling climate change, leveraging innovation and technology to achieve large-scale emissions reductions. Moonshots can propel India to the forefront of global climate action, enabling it to meet its ambitious climate goals by 2050. By harnessing the power of moonshot thinking, India has the potential to pioneer groundbreaking solutions that not only address its environmental challenges but also stimulate economic growth and technological advancement.
