: Climate change politics has always been contentious because of its direct link with economic growth. The Kyoto Protocol that had set a meagre target of reducing emissions from developed countries is all set to be jettisoned because these countries have failed to reduce their emissions and find this protocol
The last two years have seen a flurry of reports that have projected the long-term greenhouse gas emissions trajectory of India, and how the country can go low-carbon and help solve the climate change crisis. Most of these reports have talked about the huge emissions-saving potential in all sectors of …
In first phase, nine sectors identified to improve efficiency. Towards efficiency On the lines of emissions trading, the new scheme aims at maximising energy savings nationally in the most cost-effective manner. Those managing to better their targets will be allowed to sell energy saving credits to those failing to achieve …
This study by Centre for Science and Environment of the six most energy-and emissions-intensive sectors of Indian industry shows that low carbon growth is a real challenge after 2020, possibly an illusion by 2030-31.
