India’s Transition to Green Energy
Context
- Climate change is an existential threat with the potential to alter the course of human history. The traditional energy sources that contribute the most to climate change are fossil fuels. They are responsible for more than 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and roughly 90% of total carbon dioxide emissions.
- Green energy is the key solution for a better future, allowing India to meet its net zero emission target by 2070.
- As a result, India should pioneer a new economic development model that avoids the carbon-intensive approaches that many countries have pursued in the past and provides a blueprint for other developing economies to transition to clean energy.
