The Global South needs to drive the just transition discourse further to make it more inclusive and move from words to deeds.
Admitting that the government's 'Make in India' initiative will result in increase in carbon emissions as it focuses on manufacturing, and industries, India's Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Prakash Javedkar emphasises the need for developing countries to get cheaper access to green technology on humanitarian grounds, notwithstanding Intellectual Property Rights.
India must adopt blue-carbon solutions if it intends to emerge as a global climate leader
The recent technological advancement in the energy front could translate into abundant low carbon energy supply; however, there are multiple problems
India is on the right track as it sets up carbon markets and launches of pilot ETS schemes for particulate matter in different states.
This problem has been continuing for quite some time and is highly prevalent in the existing literature on valuation of ecosystem services — in gene

India has made a push towards a low carbon economic transition by expanding its renewable energy capacity by 350% over the past 13 years.
There are calls for India to declare a net-zero year and offset its carbon emissions by various processes of absorption and removal of greenhouse gases. For India, such calls are irrational; despite international pressure, it has avoided making pledges or setting hard targets beyond its commitments at the Paris climate conference in 2015. This brief argues that “net zero” is not possible with India’s current levels of reliance on coal. Its
What are the policy changes that need to be adopted by India to ensure that it fully utilises the opportunities arising from green transition?
The assumption that energy transition will also ensure social transition may prove to be inaccurate in the long-run

Africa continues to face the sharp end of climate change and evidence suggests that the countries of the continent are already committing some resourc
This brief explores four scenarios of climate action for India using a systems dynamics model called the Energy Policy Simulator for India. It investigates policy trade-offs and co-benefits and estimates the costs of climate action. It finds that deep decarbonisation in the Indian economy is possible while also boosting jobs and GDP and avoiding millions of premature deaths due to harmful air pollution. The low-carbon transition will require mass
Adequate policy changes need to be adopted to reduce carbon emissions in buildings
A clear, robust regulatory framework for pricing carbon can play a key role in increasing the uptake of carbon pricing by businesses in India.
If carbon emissions from research activities are excused, some inconvenient issues may arise
The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, often hailed as a diplomatic triumph, aims to limit temperature increases to below 2 degrees Celsius (C), preferably to 1.5 degrees C, compared to pre-industrial levels. However, with the United Nations (UN) having failed to establish a method for putting a price on carbon, greenhouse gas emissions have continued to rise, and global temperatures increased by more than 1.2 degrees C in 2020. Already, experts warn
