India’s Climate Change Policy Framework! 🌍

Our comprehensive research report on India’s climate change policies, conducted as part of our 2020 Summer School Internship Program delves into the historical and evolving frameworks of climate change policy, examining India’s strides and challenges in meeting global climate commitments and Sustainable Development Goals.

The study reveals how policy approaches like the “Polluter Pays Principle” and the integration of indigenous knowledge can shape sustainable resilience. However, gaps remain in adaptation strategies and climate finance, especially in response to frequent natural disasters and urbanisation’s impacts on emissions. The report offers strategic recommendations to close these gaps and highlights India’s unique role in global climate governance.
