Rise Of Clean Energy

India has decided to fully embrace a path to growth that is environmentally sustainable. Here's a look at what it means for our future generations and businesses.
Top climate change negotiators across the world are grappling with a new disruption -- US President Donald Trump’s dislike for the United Nation’s climate change programme. Trump has called it a hoax perpetrated by China, a cruel tax on US companies, and threatened to withdraw. If the world’s largest polluter takes such a step, it will make efforts to bring 190-odd countries to declare their Intended National Determined Contributions, or INDC, meaningless.
But Indian citizens and businesses can take heart. The country has decided to go ahead with the implementation and execution plan, irrespective of what happens at the global stage. “It is not India’s commitment to the world, it is our government’s belief that we have to grow in a sustainable way. All our big programmes are designed to reduce carbon footprint,” says Piyush Goyal, minister for power, coal, mines and new & renewable energy.
