This course emphasizes the importance of adopting sustainable practices for energy-efficient living in our homes. It suggests various ways to achieve this, including energy conservation, harnessing renewable energy sources like solar power, utilizing smart technologies to optimize energy usage, using eco-friendly materials for construction and maintenance, promoting education and conscious consumption, advocating for government incentives and policy support, engaging with communities, and monitoring and evaluating our energy consumption and sustainable practices.

This course highlights the importance of embracing sustainability to preserve ocean biodiversity. Ocean biodiversity is crucial for the health of our planet, providing essential ecosystem services and sustaining livelihoods. However, human activities pose significant threats to the oceans, including overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and invasive species introduction.

This course highlights the urgency of the climate crisis and emphasizes the need for immediate action to achieve a sustainable future. It discusses the scientific consensus on climate change, attributing it primarily to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The consequences of climate change, including extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and ecological disruptions, are outlined.

This course explores the concept of the ecological footprint and emphasizes the hidden impact of everyday actions on the environment. It discusses various aspects that contribute to the ecological footprint, including consumption patterns, energy use, transportation choices, waste generation, and food production.

This course is for the correct entries into the ORB Part-I as per industry guidelines and IMO circulars.

This course gives an introduction to the regulation of energy efficiency on ships, also known as the EEXI and CII requirements.
