| Description | The aim of this project is to advance climate mitigation modelling by designing climate mitigation scenarios that are realistic and equitable. Although the dominant climate mitigation models find that global mitigation targets like limiting temperature rise to less than 2 degrees C are technologically and economically feasible, but the implications of these global scenarios for national-level energy and climate trajectories remain understudied. This is concerning for developing countries like India that not only need to undertake climate mitigation but also need to meet their development goals. In the project, we will examine to key questions: a) what development trajectories are technologically and socially compatible with ambitious climate action in India, and ii) what are the potential trade-offs between climate mitigation and development impacts of ambitious climate mitigation pathways in India? |
