INDIA'S GREEN GROWTH STRATEGY A BLUEPRINT FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE

A Blueprint for Climate Resilience

- SANDEEP CHANDNA, Chief Sustainability Officer, Tech Mahindra

AS the world grapples with record-breaking temperatures and the escalating urgency of the climate crisis, the opportunity for resilient and ambitious climate action has never been more compelling. In a recent report released at COP29, global mean temperatures from January to September 2024 were recorded at 1.54°C above pre-industrial levels, potentially making 2024 the hottest year. This is a stark reminder of the urgency of climate action, affirming that sustainability is a critical mandate for survival and resilience.

India, with its ambitious energy transition, climate-resilient policies, and a commitment to a low-carbon economy, is addressing its domestic climate goals and shaping a global pathway for sustainable and inclusive growth.

Sustainable Energy Transition

India's energy sector is at the centre of its shift toward sustainability. As the nation works to meet its ambitious goal of 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, it has already achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 200 GW this year.
