"If the world helps me
with technology, helps
me with resources I
will be the very first
person to switch over
to clean energy
completely.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an
interview to David Letterman. 2016

INDIA @ COP 22
Addressing climate change
Global Climate Change: change in mean global temperature,
changes in regional temperature, rainfall, pressure, circulation,
etc.
Mitigation:
reduce
emissions,
reducing
magnitude of
CC
Greenhouse gas
emissions
Climate change
impacts
Adaptation:
reduce
vulnerability
to CC
impacts,
reduce losses
Adaptation and mitigation are complementary strategies
• A challenge for policy makers:
– How to adapt to climate change (Adaptation)
– How to make a transition to a low carbon growth path (Mitigation)

INDIA @ COP 22
The Paris Agreement
• The Paris Agreement provides a long-term vision for
developing new technologies and enabling the transfer of
these technologies from the developed to the developing
world in order to help nations mitigate and adapt to climate
change.
• Mission Innovation was announced on November 30, 2015 by
the leaders of 20 countries that have a shared desire to
accelerate global clean energy innovation.

INDIA @ COP 22
Global Clean Energy Innovation
• At the launch, 20 countries committed to double their
respective clean energy research and development over the
five years to 2020.
• Several example technologies were mentioned at the launch
of the initiative: biofuel, carbon capture and storage, airborne
wind turbines, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
• Potential of liquid hydrocarbons being produced from sunlight
via artificial photosynthesis (solar fuel) by 2025 was
highlighted.

Strategies
INDIA @ COP 22
Mid Century Strategies
• Formulating and making available mid-century strategies for the transition to low-carbon
economies, mindful of the below 2 degree C global temperature goal.
• To “send a loud and clear signal to citizens and the private sector that the transformation
of the global economy is inevitable, beneficial and already underway”.
long-term pathways
• Long-term pathways as demonstrated by the Deep Decarbonization Pathway Project are
indispensable for ensuring that short-term actions are consistent with the transformations
required to achieve deep decarbonisation by mid-century.
• To support stakeholder engagement with business, civil society, and other actors in each
country. At the international level, they can help identify areas of cooperation, notably on
R&D, and build trust in other countries’ commitments to reduce emissions. Such
pathways can help strengthen the ambition of country contributions to climate action over
time.

The Indian Perspective
INDIA @ COP 22
• Fastest growing major economy in the world
• India is one of the most vulnerable nations to impacts of
climate change
• Large sections of the population still below poverty line while
home to some of the richest in the world (wide disparity)
• Per capita energy consumption is 20% of world average. 4% of
USA and 28% of China
• Emissions from energy sector projected to grow by 85% by 2030

NDC and India’s Position
INDIA @ COP 22
• Paris Agreement ensures implementaiton of the convention – a
key demand of India
• “Common but differentiated responsibilities” key phrase &
INDC
• Despite rapid renewable energy expansion plans, coal would
probably remain mainstay of energy

INDIA @ COP 22
Role of Technology in Mitigation
• Technology is one of the main determinants of economic development and
will continue to drive growth in India
• Technology is crucial to ensure that economic development and emissions
are decoupled. This is already happening in most mature economies and
India is likely to follow suit
• India has to (and is choosing) low carbon technological pathways to further
its economic development. Ex: Mass transportation, Clean Energy,
Sustainable Agriculture, etc.
• Appropriate structural changes are expected in all realms of economic
development. These technologies are likely to adopt low carbon pathways

INDIA @ COP 22
Potential of Renewable Energy to Mitigate CO2
emissions from Power Generation in 2022
Non-renewable sources of energy:
• 71% of the total electricity of 905 TWh is generated by coal
• Gas and lignite contribute 6% and 3% respectively,
• Naptha, oil and diesel together contribute less than 2%
• Large hydro’s share is 14%
Other renewables - solar, wind and biomass together generated
18.45 TWh of energy accounting for 2% of the total electricity
generated. Assuming continuation of current trends, India would
need to generate 1347 TWh of electricity by 2022

India’s Response to Climate Change: NAPCC
• National Action Plan on Climate Change(NAPCC) - To fulfill India’s
vision of sustainable development in the context of climate change,
the Prime Minister’s Council (PMC) has launched the NAPCC during
September 2009.
• The National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC) lays the
pathway for a directional shift in India’s response to climate change.
• It houses eight core missions on the basis of which a low-carbon
Indian economy is being built.
• Implementation: Ministries with lead responsibility for each of the
missions
