Acting on climate change, a $11 trillion opportunity for India: Report

The Hindu  

India must act now to prevent the country from losing $35 trillion in economic potential over the next 50 years due to unmitigated climate change, a new report from the Deloitte Economics Institute has said. The report, titled 'India's turning point: How climate action can drive our economic future', also reveals how the country could gain $11 trillion in economic value instead over the same period, by limiting rising global temperatures and realising its potential to 'export decarbonisation' to the world. No one is immune to the impact of climate change, but for India this is a window of opportunity to lead the way and show how climate action is not a narrative of cost but one of sustainable economic growth," according to Atul Dhawan, Chairperson, Deloitte India. The report also said that if governments, businesses and communities act boldly and rapidly in the next decade to address climate change, average global temperature rises can be limited to around 1.5° celsius by 2050 -- a scenario that will minimise the impact of climate change for India and the rest of the world.
