As the world confronts multiple challenges which are intricately connected, our path for development stands at a crucial juncture. In the context of the embroiling polycrisis, progress on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) has been steady but fragile with major and persistent challenges. Financing for Agenda 2030 has emerged as a major bottleneck with several developing economies, especially the least developed countries (LDCs), low-income
It is important to not only bridge the demand gap for an optimal transition to green growth, but also create appropriate legal frameworks to actualise
Renewable energy and nuclear power generation capacity are projected to increase by leaps and bounds in 2032.
For India to achieve net-zero by 2070, the Hydrogen Mission needs to closely align with its climate agenda systematically.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive economic and social fallout for India, as it has across the globe. In India, large numbers of people lost their jobs, and supply chains across industries and agriculture have been disrupted. At the same time, environmental indicators—notably air and freshwater quality—showed improvements following the long period of a nationwide lockdown. This brief outlines why India must make a focused decision to mov

Hasty net metering policy revisions by states will upset India’s renewable energy targets
Modi and Obama need to focus less on India's near-term carbon emissions and find ways to boost its use of renewable energy like solar and wind. Such an approach will address Delhi's need to grow its economy and Washington's desire to lessen the weight of coal in India?s energy mix.
For India to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070, coal power must be phased out entirely, and renewable capacity needs to grow.
India is experiencing a surge in power demand owing to an expanding economy. Even as the country has embraced the idea of transitioning to clean renewable energy, its current demand for electricity can only be met by addressing the concerns surrounding coal-fired power plants. The goal of going green might be a medium- to long-term strategy that should be diligently pursued to avoid future crises. In the short term, however, focus should
Over the foreseeable future, only massive advances in renewable technology and storage options can reverse the tide of carbon emissions from the incre
