@NITIAayog @mnreindia In terms of value proposition, India is unique among developing countries, it has what it takes to be the world’s testing lab today.  I am talking about the technologies that are related to the hard to abate sectors: Mohua Mukherjee at our #FlagshipSeminar

@NITIAayog @mnreindia Today at our #FlagshipSeminar:

@lordstern1 talked about how India’s future, through the future of climate change, depends in large measure on what it itself does given this influence, and that is fundamental to this whole story.

@NITIAayog @mnreindia @lordstern1 "We cannot ignore the fact that it is not just about finance and technology, it is about people."

Jamshyd Godrej emphasised the importance of a well-thought out transition, taking everybody, especially civil society, along.

@NITIAayog @mnreindia @lordstern1 "Our estimations at @CEEWIndia suggest that 75% of India’s districts are hotspots for extreme climate events. 40% of districts are showing trends of shifting from traditionally flood-prone to becoming drought-prone, and vice versa." : @GhoshArunabha

@NITIAayog @mnreindia @lordstern1 @CEEWIndia @GhoshArunabha @isolaralliance "Industry is at the crux of the net zero transition. If we talk about material efficiency not energy efficiency, about reusing and recycling, it had a dampening effect on job potential."

@NITIAayog @mnreindia @lordstern1 @CEEWIndia @GhoshArunabha @isolaralliance @UlkaKelkar @WRIIndia "What India needs to focus right now is very high variable RE, contrary to some people saying that getting batteries is cheap enough. The good news is that there are multiple years ahead for India to just grow RE for now."
