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 India. 410 0$aIndia Studies in Business and Economics,$x2198-0012 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy and state 606 $aClimate change 606 $aFossil fuels 606 $aEnergy efficiency 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aFossil Fuels (incl.
