Abstract
The Interim Report of the Expert Group on Low Carbon Strategies for Inclusive Growth neither prioritises inclusivity nor offers concrete solutions to adopt a low-carbon pathway. Such a growth path can produce co-benefits and savings while moving millions out of poverty in India. It is socially, financially and politically the right way forward, but it needs to be articulated in much more explicit terms than what is currently proposed by the government.
