GIZ India is delighted to announce the e-launch event for a report developed under the NDC-TIA India component. The Nationally Determined Contribution-Transport Initiative for Asia (NDC-TIA) is funded under the "International Climate Initiative (IKI) by the German Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)". The activities under the NDC-TIA India component are carried out in close collaboration with NITI Aayog, Government of India (Implementation partner).

 

Under the India Component, we have an ongoing study "Simulation-based study to evaluate the effects of E-mobility smart charging strategies" implemented by a consortium led by Fraunhofer-Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology IEE, Kassel, Germany and supported by Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in India (IITB), Universidad Pontificia Comillas (IIT Comillas) in Madrid, Spain, and Technical University Denmark (DTU) in Copenhagen, Denmark.

 

Tata Power Company Limited, which is one of the largest integrated power company in India with a significant presence in all the segments of power sector, viz Fuel & Logistics, Generation (thermal, hydro, solar, and wind), Transmission, Distribution and Trading, is facilitating us with real data for a number of feeders across three cities of Delhi, Mumbai, and Bhubaneswar in India.

 

As part of the study, we have completed our first report titled "A critical review of Smart Charging Strategies and Technologies for Electric Vehicles", which we would like to release through this virtual event.

 

With immense pleasure, GIZ India along with the execution team cordially invite you to attend the e-launch event on 30^th November 2021 from 15:30 to 17:30 hrs IST | 11:00 to 13:00 hrs CET.

 

This report is focused on the following key aspects:

• Concept of smart charging,
• Critical review of various smart charging strategies and approaches for electric vehicles,
• Smart charging technologies and related products and solutions,
• Gaps in Indian regulations and policies from smart charging perspective,
• Commercially available smart charging products and equipment, and
• Case studies of existing smart charging projects.

Kindly find enclosed the detailed agenda along with a brief note on the report for your reference.

If you need any further information in this regard, please feel free to reach out to us on shweta.kalia@giz.de or sahana.l@giz.de.

Launch of the Global Standards for Media and Information Literacy Curricula Development Guidelines | 11 November at 7:30 PM IST

Launch of the Global Standards for Media and Information Literacy Curricula Development Guidelines

Co-organized by UNESCO and the Republic of Serbia, in cooperation with the European Commission

➤ Date: Thursday, 11 November 2021

➤ Time: 7:30 PM IST | 3:00  PM CET

➤ Registration link: https://unesco-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Q1ROJYz8SXyt8ZN7wOtEHA

About the Event: Achieving media and information literacy for all requires that media and information literacy is integrated in all levels of informal, non-formal and formal education and learning (in schools and outside of schools). UNESCO published the new resource Media and Information Literate Citizens: Think critically, Click Wisely (Second Edition of the UNESCO Model Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Educators and Learners) in April 2021, a flagship resource to be used by educators and learners around the globe. To guide media and information literacy curricula development and implementation around the world and assist stakeholders in this endeavor, UNESCO will issue the Global Standards for Media and Information Literacy Curricula Development Guidelines. The Standards focus on necessary processes at various levels of society and offer an integrated set of core and common learning outcomes that all stakeholders seeking to develop integrated curricula on media and information literacy should consider. This document is a non-prescriptive policy brief. Its primary target groups are policy makers responsible for curricula development and media and information literacy related programmes, curriculum developers and planners, educators, NGO leaders, experts and practitioners implementing media and information literacy related curricula. This resource is the fruit of a series of international and regional consultations covering all regions of the world and involving over 100 countries. During the 39^th session of the UNESCO General Conference side event "Media and Information Literacy and Games in the Digital World", UNESCO and representatives from the Republic of Serbia, Finland, and India jointly launched the Belgrade Recommendations on Draft Global Standards for Media and Information Literacy Curricula Guidelines. The launch was followed by further multi-stakeholder consultations gathering inputs from experts and practitioners mentioned above. Against this backdrop, the Global Standards for Media and Information Literacy Curricula Development Guidelines will be jointly launched by UNESCO and the Republic of Serbia, in cooperation with the European Commission. This resource will be made available in multiple languages for all Member States of UNESCO, as well as civil society actors.
