Green Options

After months of resistance against emission reduction goals the Indian government now seems willing to take proactive measures to reduce carbon emissions.

India is refusing to use its ‘low per capita emissions’ argument to dodge demands of emission reduction goals even as its carbon emission output continues to rise.

While aspiring to become an economic super power India must ensure that its industrial sector manages its resources in the most efficient manner and reduce its carbon footprint.

World Bank has noted that any mandatory emission reduction targets could slow down India’s economic growth but India must consider voluntary sectoral emission reductions as developed nations have agreed to provide monetary and technical assistance.
