India’s GHG Emissions: Trends and Indicators

CSTEP, on behalf of GHG Platform India, has hosted the webinar to discuss the trends in GHG emissions from key economic sectors--Agriculture, Forestry & Other Land Use (AFOLU), Energy, Industry, and Waste. The webinar highlights how these trends relate to India’s climate policy and related targets, with reference to indicators like emissions intensity of GDP and emissions per capita, at the national level. It features researchers and experts from GHGPI partners (CEEW, CSTEP, ICLEI South Asia, Vasudha Foundation, and WRI India).

Is India prepared for offshore wind farm development

The offshore wind industry has significant potential as a long-term solution. However, with the current costs being high, we need to study the factors that will make it viable and plausibly cheaper in the years to come. Based on a preliminary examination of existing port infrastructure in India, it is evident that enormous reinforcement efforts will be required in order to service our future offshore wind energy projects along with establishing regulatory and institutional frameworks that will guide the local stakeholders.
