More resources will flow to climate-friendly projects
-
As India faces a mounting climate challenge, access to finance, advanced technologies, and critical mineral resources assumes greater importance. The draft "Climate Finance Taxonomy", recently released by the Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, comes in as a much-needed framework during these critical times.
Given the increased climate vulnerability, particularly in sectors like agriculture and water resources, and the need to increase per capita energy consumption from a paltry 16.7 gigajoules (GJ) in 2022-23 to 45.7-75 GJ per year, India needs a cumulative $2.5 trillion to meet its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets till 2030. But at the same time, rapid energy transition should not be allowed at the expense of the country's growth and diversion of resources from other developmental priorities.

The return of the nativists
The most potent signs of the integration of India’s people emerged in the first days of the Covid-19 lockdown six years ago. As shops and factories downed shutters and construction sites froze, tens of thousands of workers and their families took to the roads. Unceremoniously evicted by employers and landlords, they were forced to make their way home from the boom towns of the south and west — on foot, bicycles, bullock carts (the lucky ones by lorry or trains) — to Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and West Bengal.
