Page 17 - Low Carbon Development in China and India
P. 17
Low carbon development strategies, while considering climate change
mitigation, also have to be understood in the context of sustainable
development to include aspects of energy security, livelihood security,
and equity.
I am very happy that The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI)
along with the National Centre for Climate Change Strategy and
International Cooperation, the Central University of Finance and
Economics, and Zhejiang University have worked together in
examining issues around low carbon strategies.
The collaborative study on low carbon development for China and
India is directed towards developing specific strategies for low carbon
development in crosscutting areas, such as financing, technology and
innovation policy, and sub-national initiatives. The project focuses
on understanding peer-country experiences, promoting knowledge
exchange and dissemination to shape domestic policies and
implementation. By engaging with policymakers, the project will seek
to support policy incubation and development at both the national and
sub-national level.
The areas of financing, science technology, and innovation policy,
and sub-national actions, deserve to be examined in the context of low
carbon development. Promoting an active mindset geared towards low
carbon development initiatives would be instrumental. I am confident
that this initiative will set directions for low carbon development by
examining key issues and highlighting peer practices that could be
considered for India and China.
