The year 2023 brings a new set of challenges for India in climate change policy and actions. Last year, India updated its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement and also released a Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS) in the context of a net zero emissions goal by 2070. Work on the road map for the transition of economic sectors included in the Strategy is to begin. But more urgent is resolving the issues in implementing the updated NDCs that will be achieved by 2030. Managing the transition in all sectors affected by climate change is a complex process. Taking the proper steps early will make it easier. It will also help establish India’s leadership by demonstrating that her NDCs represent more than her fair share of global responsibility and capacity.
