“Integrated National Energy & Environment Education Development Project”................
AEEED Integrates Energy
and Environment in National Education Curriculum….
Integrated National Energy & Environment Education Development Project under the propounded mission of Aaditya Energy Foundation’s AEEED (Aaditya Energy & Environment Education Development Project) Forum aims at promoting energy conscious and environmentally educated national society by creating effective networks of students, educators, business, government, legislators, social and community leaders to design and deliver objectively defined, multi-sided energy and environment education programs, across the education matrices from basics to research and literacy missions of the nation. It is dedicated to promoting a realistic understanding of scientific, economic and
environmental impacts of energy production and consumption profiling, climate change issues, low carbon economy and the pathways for sustainable development in cyclic integration of energy, environment and economy, enabling the national society at large to make educated decisions to achieve Millennium Development Goals.
The proposed program is targeted to include innovative curriculum materials, skill & professional development, implementation and evaluation tools, and recognition of societal abilities to analyze and decide on critical energy, environmental and economic issues in the broader perspectives of National Policies, Regional and International Agreements, as well as in the Framework of specialized agencies of United Nations. AEEED teaches the scientific concepts of energy and provides objective information about conventional and emerging energy sources— their use and impact on the environment, economy, and society. The program also educates students about energy efficiency and conservation, development and uses of sustainable or renewable energy
portfolios to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions, while providing tools to help educators, energy managers, environmental activists and consumers use energy wisely, minimizing its impact on environment and climate.
