Conclusions.Though the impact of climate change will most likely be greatest with the already poor and vulnerable populations in the developing world, much of the writing about the costs and benefits of different policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is by Western scholars, working in advanced industrialized economies. Drawing the majority of its contributions from authors based at Indian universities and other research centers, India and Global Climate Change provides a developing world perspective on the debate. With a population of over one billion, and an economy that is undergoing substantial restructuring and greatly increased economic growth after a number of years of stagnation, India has an exceptional stake in the debate about climate change policy. Using the Indian example, this volume looks at such policy issues as the energy economy relationships that drive GHG emissions; the options and costs for restricting GHG emissions while promoting sustainable development; and the design of innovative mechanisms for expanded international cooperation with GHG mitigation.Climatic changesGovernment policyIndiaClimatic changesEconomic aspectsIndiaGreenhouse gas mitigationGovernment policyIndiaGreenhouse gas mitigationEconomic aspectsIndiaClimatic changesGovernment policyClimatic changesEconomic aspectsGreenhouse gas mitigationGovernment policyGreenhouse gas mitigationEconomic aspects363.738/74/0954Toman Michael A734054Chakravorty Ujjayant485564Gupta Shreekant1570680MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779751303321India and global climate change3844509UNINA
