Reconciling India’s Climate and Industrial Targets: A Policy Roadmap.
Introduction
India has performed remarkably well in terms of its climate trajectory over the past decade. From 2005 to 2014, the country’s GHG-emission intensity declined by 21 percent.
[1] According to Climate Transparency, India is the only G20 nation on-track to achieve the targets under the Paris Agreement.
[2] One of the key, albeit unfortunate, reasons behind India’s climate success is the underperformance of its manufacturing sector. Since industries constitute approximately one-fourth of the economy’s total GHG emissions,
[3] the sector’s sluggish growth has led to only a moderate increase in industrial power demand and emission-intensity of the gross domestic product (GDP).

ABSTRACT:
The environmental effect of trade liberalization has been one of the most crucial questions concerning trade policy over the last two decades. However, the theoretical literature on trade openness and the environment is largely inconclusive relating to the overall influence of international trade on the environmental quality including displacement hypothesis, pollution haven hypothesis, foreign direct investment, “race to bottom”, diffusion of technology, and globalization. Previous studies demonstrate that trade openness have both positive and negative influence on the environmental quality.
