It comprehensively reviews the low climate pathways for India and provides a guide to the pathways that the country can adopt. India’s population, energy demands and emissions will increase significantly, and the challenge is to restrict its CO2 emissions and walk the low carbon path. Through its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), India has pledged to reduce its emissions significantly. Addressing the question of which low carbon paths India can adhere to without compromising its growth, the book identifies the key factors that feed into existing models of climate change and discusses the cost of action versus inaction. It also examines key issues concerning India’s environment through the lens of the transport, industry and water sectors. The book concludes by looking at policy implications for low carbon growth in IndiaSummary: India’s Energy Demand and Supply -- Low Carbon Pathways for Growth in India: Assessment of Climate Models -- Low Carbon Pathways -- Cost of Inaction on Mitigating Climate change -- Sectoral Perspectives -- Low Carbon Pathways for Urban Development and Mobility in India -- Strategies to Lower Carbon Emissions in Industry -- Energy Efficiency Approach to Urban Water Supply -- Water, Ecosystem Services, and Food Security -- De-carbonization of the Indian Railways -- Advent of Solar in India -- ConclusionPPN: PPN: 1030104328Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-ENE | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEN
