India – Energy Policy and Climate Change

Posted on March 17, 2015 by climatechangefork

Last week I summarized India’s current energy policy in terms of three objectives: access, security and climate change. While I looked into the challenges and apparent contradictions in the first two objectives, I left the discussion of its policy on … Continue reading →

India – Lighthouse for the IPAT

Posted on February 24, 2015 by climatechangefork

India is “hot” now. I just got the recent issue of The Economist (February 21st), whose cover features a personification of India, riding high on a very attractive elephant that has a jet engine strapped to its side. With most … Continue reading →
