Outlining a Path towards Sustainable Development and Net-Zero Emissions

Energy lies at the heart of India’s development aspirations, from ensuring a better life for its 1.4 billion people to realizing a USD 5-trillion climate economy. At the same time, India confronts an energy trilemma: Balancing energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability while pursuing decarbonization. To successfully navigate this trilemma, concerted efforts and partnerships are essential among the government, businesses, and civil society. Decisions made in this decisive decade will determine India’s ability to decarbonize while ensuring continued economic growth and development.

The report launched on August 1, 2023 by TERI and Shell, ‘India transforming to a net-zero emissions energy system: A Call to Action to 2030’ outlines what India needs to do in this decade (from now until 2030) to help meet its net-zero emissions target while also delivering energy security and energy equity.
