Answer:
The state of Goa stands at the crossroads of development. Economic growth in recent times, largely driven by industry, mining, and tourism, has put ever increasing pressure on the state’s natural resources and the environment. The degradation of ecosystems and environmental conditions has far-reaching adverse implications on the well-being of human society. There is growing concern in the government as well as the civil society of Goa that the state is facing a major sustainability challenge. In addition to this is the possibility of future climate change introducing new risks to the region and increasing the vulnerability of both socio-economic and natural resource systems. Goa 2035—a vision document for the state—highlights that ‘Goa should stand out globally as a model of development without destruction’. This is a laudable goal and llustrative of the recognition in Goa’s policy circles that there is a need for alternative development pathways to meet the sustainability challenge. The Directions, Innovations, and Strategies for Harnessing Action (DISHA) study by TERI aims to support this effort by the Government of Goa, and for this purpose, it has carried out both baseline assessments and a priori evaluations of possible future trends and transformations in the core development activities and processes in the state. The study draws from TERI’s own experience in the past of conducting similar assessments at the national level (TERI, 1997, 2009). The main objectives of the DISHA study are outlined here—(a) to assess the current state of the environment and socio-economic development in Goa; (b) to evaluate the likely impacts on the environment and socio-economic development under different growth scenarios over the next two decades; and (c) to develop strategies to avert the likely negative impacts on the state’s environmental resources, without compromising on improved overall socio-economic development. The focus of the study is on key economic activities in the state, related environmental challenges, and measures to meet them.
