Welcome Address & Opening Remarks 

NPC’s Mission has been to contribute to the sustainable, inclusive socioeconomic development of the country by enhancing productivity. Mitigating air pollution to achieve net-zero carbon emissions through sustainable development involves adopting renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting green infrastructure, and implementing circular economy practices. These measures reduce emissions, improve air quality, and support sustainable economic growth, balancing environmental protection with societal needs

Mrs. Neerja Sekhar

IAS, Director General, National
Productivity Council (NPC) 

03:10-03:20 PM

Special remarks

UNIDO is the specialized agency of the United Nations with a unique mandate to promote and accelerate sustainable industrial and economic development. UNIDO’s mandate is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) in its developing country Member States. Accordingly, the Organization’s programmatic focus is structured in four strategic priorities: (i) creating shared prosperity, (ii) advancing economic competitiveness, (iii) safeguarding the environment, and (iv) strengthening knowledge and institutions. These programmatic fields of activity contain diverse individual programmes, which are implemented through UNIDO’s four functions:(i) technical cooperation; (ii) analytical, research and policy advisory services; (iii) normative functions and standards and quality-related activities; and (iv) convening and partnerships for knowledge transfer, networking and industrial cooperation.

Special Address

In 2024, APO introduced Green Productivity 2.0, a roadmap aimed at driving sustainability through actionable strategies and technological interventions. This initiative focuses on creating a low-carbon, resource-efficient society by incorporating practices such as eco-innovation, green procurement, and promotion of eco-products. ​To support these efforts, APO established the Center of Excellence on Green Productivity in Taipei, which serves as a hub for promoting and implementing GP-related activities across the Asia-Pacific region. ​Through these comprehensive efforts, APO aims to harmonize economic growth with environmental protection, contributing to sustainable development in the region 

Dr. Indra Singawinata

Secretary General, Asian
Productivity Organization, Tokyo

03.30-03.45 PM

Address by Chief Guest

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) Government of India is responsible for planning, promoting, and implementing environmental and forestry policies and programs. It oversees conservation of forests and wildlife, prevention and control of pollution, and management of biodiversity. MoEFCC also handles issues related to climate change and coordinates with international environmental organizations. The ministry plays a key role in formulating environmental laws and ensuring sustainable development in India.

Report Launch: “State of Plastic Recycling” (Massive Earth Foundation)

Official release and presentation of key findings from two national-level reports: 

  • “State of Plastic Recycling” by the Massive Earth Foundation, which captures emerging trends, innovations, and critical gaps in India’s plastic recycling ecosystem.

These insights aim to inform policy, innovation, and investment strategies for accelerating a plastic-free future. 

03:55-04:40 PM

Panel Discussion: Opportunities and Challenges in Combatting Plastic Pollution

Plastic pollution remains one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, impacting ecosystems, human health, and economies globally. While global awareness and policy momentum are growing, effective solutions require a multi-stakeholder approach that addresses the full plastic lifecycle from production and consumption to collection and disposal. This panel will delve into emerging innovations, scalable business models, regulatory developments, and grassroots interventions aimed at tackling plastic pollution. Experts will also discuss systemic barriers, financing gaps, and opportunities for regional collaboration to drive impactful change across India and the Asia-Pacific region.

Panel Discussion: Minimize Micro Plastics: Present Status, Issues, Challenges, Measuring and Controlling Micro Plastics

Microplastics — fragments smaller than 5mm — are an invisible yet widespread pollutant threatening ecosystems and public health. This panel will explore the current state of microplastic pollution in India and Asia-Pacific, discuss its sources (from cosmetics to textiles), and highlight the challenges in detection, monitoring, and control. Panelists will also examine the policy gaps, research needs, and technological innovations required to mitigate this emerging crisis.
