Quality of life for all: A sustainable development framework for India's climate policy

This study placed improving quality of life at the centre of India’s national climate policy and asked what happens to greenhouse gas emissions with such an approach. Using bottom-up scenario analyses, the sectoral interventions modelled in this research demonstrate that it is possible to get close to achieving the country’s climate targets while improving quality of life at the same time.
