The Final Report of the Expert Group on Low Carbon Strategies for Inclusive Growth

Abstract

There is near consensus among the scientific community that ongoing global warming is an anthropogenic phenomenon, a result of carbon intensive activities since the industrial revolution. However, different countries are at different stages of development, and have had different emission trajectories in the past. On a per capita basis, India is one of the lowest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world, yet it is threatened by the impact of global warming and climate change.
