Episode 89: India’s Climate Change Policy

Climate change has come under the spotlight ever since the United States (US) Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry, visited India in early April. This was particularly noteworthy as the Leaders' Summit on Climate hosted by US President Joe Biden took place soon after, on 22 and 23 April 2021. To discuss Kerry's visit, net-zero debates, India's progress on the Paris Agreement since 2015, and the international politics around climate change, Dr Karthik Nachiappan, Research Fellow at ISAS spoke to Dr Vaibhav Chaturvedi, Fellow at Council on Environment, Energy and Water (CEEW), New Delhi. Dr Chaturvedi is an economist who leads CEEW's work on Low-Carbon Pathways, and his research focuses on energy and climate change mitigation policy issues.
