The Modern India Podcast #59-India:The Potential of Recycling Water & Waste

Arendalsuka is over for this year!

We are excited to share with our beloved listners our engaging debate at Arendalsuka through our podcast.

The Nordic countries are renowned for their pristine nature and pure water, with Cleantech being a cornerstone of our societies. By combining advanced technology with effective water management, the Nordics have managed to maintain and restore some of the world's finest water resources.

This year's debate centered on the topic: "India: The Potential of Recycling Water and Waste – Myth and Reality in Achieving a Circular Economy."

Our goal was to explore and develop sustainable solutions for India’s water challenges by leveraging both Indian and Nordic knowledge and technology. We were fortunate to have an exceptional lineup of speakers and panelists who shared their insights and expertise on this critical topic.

We also focused on Indo-Norwegian cooperation projects, particularly in waste management – an area ripe for conversation.

Here are some of the key questions we explored:

1. What are India's ambitions within the circular economy, specifically in the waste and water sectors?
2. How do existing regulations and other policy instruments help bring India closer to achieving these ambitions, and are there areas that need adjustment?
3. How do we see Indo-Norwegian cooperation projects helping to advance India’s innovation and ambitions?

We look forward to continuing this important dialogue and exploring how we can work together to create sustainable solutions!
