Abstract

The climate debate for India encompasses issues other than just energy choices and energy efficiency. It is an integrated puzzle around lifestyle choices, aspirations of 1.2 billion people, and informed actions on water, air quality, and climate front. Further, in the wake of the COP-21 talks at Paris and the already announced US-China agreement on peaking of GHG emissions, India’s approach to climate mitigation and adaptation is keenly watched in the climate policy space globally. This paper outlines one such approach using the India Energy Security Scenarios-2047 tool of the NITI Aayog and explores India’s emissions trajectory till the year 2047 if the past trends continue and the trajectory if low carbon energy choices are made. Further, the study states the interventions in the demand and the supply sector which can make this transition feasible. However, such a transition will not happen without making investments in technologies, programs and infrastructure and hence a likely estimate of the quantum of investments is also estimated till the year 2047.
