The Imperative of Climate Governance
As India strides towards becoming the third-largest global economy by 2030, the nation faces the dual challenge of sustaining economic growth while addressing climate change. The World Bank estimates that climate change could reduce India's GDP by up to 2.8% by 2050 if proactive measures aren't implemented. Recognizing this, India has committed to achieving 50% of its energy capacity from renewables by 2030 and attaining net-zero emissions by 2070.
However, these commitments necessitate robust climate governance frameworks that integrate policy, corporate strategy, and financial mechanisms. The Reserve Bank of India's push for green finance and SEBI's ESG reporting mandates underscore the urgency for businesses to align with national and global climate goals.
