Context
The third largest economy and the fourth largest energy consumer in the world, India’s development trajectory and action will have a decisive impact on global efforts to limit GHG emissions. India’s NDC is ambitious and reflects its commitment to share the burden; however, much depends on enabling a domestic policy environment, implementation support, and international finance.
GGGI’s work in India will, therefore, support environmentally sustainable and economically viable development by engaging in policy discussions, supporting project implementation and mobilizing green investments.
To date, GGGI has engaged with several government counterparts, implementing partners and resource partners in areas of sustainable energy, improved urban waste management, climate resilient livelihoods, low-cost rural green housing, sustainable landscapes management and Sustainable Development Goals.
