India and Paris Agreement: Past, present and future

Published: 12 December 2020
Five years since the Paris Agreement, we are at an inflection point. The current policies of the countries have put the planet on a path to a 3.2°C temperature increase this century. Very soon, we will exhaust the carbon budget for 1.5°C.  This will have devastating consequences on communities, economies and ecosystems in the developing countries like India. It is in India's interest that the global emissions are reduced significantly. For this, India will have to take a leadership role in climate negotiations. The energy transition taking place in the country provides space for India to be a leader in climate actions.

Conference on "Global Carbon Budgets and Equity in Climate Change"

Published: 1 July 2010
The crucial global climate policy issue today is the current unequal occupation of carbon space with the developed nations having occupied far more than their fair share of carbon space. Without these nations sharply reducing their emissions, it is evident that other nations cannot get their fair share. From the carbon space perspective, it is also clear that no nation can lay claim to more than its fair share, and that the burden of mitigation will fall progressively on all nations as they approach their fair share of global carbon space
