India can lead the world in sustainable growth

Hindustan Times  

A quarter-century of growth has transformed the lives of millions of Indians and offered India its rightful place on the global stage. This rapid growth trajectory also places India at the heart of the most critical question of the environmental movement — can developing nations, which collectively generate the majority of global growth in the coming decade, reduce their carbon footprint while realising their economic potential? With about 300 sunny days a year, India has the potential to lead the world in solar electricity, which will be less expensive than existing coal-fired power by 2030, even when paired with battery storage. PM Modi’s call for “high speed, large scale, concrete action” to combat the climate crisis at the recent summit, hosted by United States President Joe Biden, and his open invitation to global partners for building sustainable solutions reaffirm India’s interest in nurturing cross-border collaboration and innovation to accelerate climate action. With its transition to clean energy, India can become the model for nations around the globe by creating a pathway to sustainable growth, rising prosperity, environmental justice and a clean energy future.
