GHG Emissions and Economic Growth

Barun Deb Pal • Vijay P. Ojha • Sanjib Pohit Joyashree Roy - Personal Name;

We decided to get this book published to help the larger audience make sense of the discussion on climate change and its implications for economic growth in In- dia. Issues linking climate change and economic growth are now at the centre of discussions regarding climate friendly development strategies which are increas- ingly becoming a necessity rather than an option for late-industrialising countries like India. This book contributes to this discussion by systematically analysing the relationships between economic growth and GHG emissions in India with explicit reference to all major economic sectors. Although the science of the impact of cli- mate change on earth and its inhabitants is moving rapidly in the direction of cer- tainty and precision, lack of clarity on how emerging economies can manage their developmental imperatives in the face of pressing carbon constraints with judicious policy interventions persists. Whether a global carbon price will help incentivising developmental actors to choose low-carbon growth strategies is still an open and debatable issue. Many suggest carbon tax at the border or nationally implemented under sovereign national fiscal regimes. Suggestions for benchmarking-monitor- ing-reporting-verification of all activities by best practices are also on the table. So, it is quite a complex issue for anybody to try to resolve without detailed knowledge and information on pros and cons of each of the alternative interventions and in- stitutional arrangements suggested. Moreover, the impact of climate change is all pervading. It is not confined to one single activity or sector but extends to each and every economic activity and sector and to people of all socioeconomic groups
