Anupama Sen OIES
Anupama Sen describes some important features of the approach to the climate change debate in India. The Indian narrative could be described in three parts: the recognition of the facts and the need for a national action plan, the parallel concerns with energy security, which related to growth objectives but has also led to some contrarian and unsustainable policies, and the poverty alleviation and distributional objectives. Anupama’s presentation explores these different narratives and concludes with some general comments on political factors, the movement from a centrally planned to more market based economy, and the value of regional cooperation.
