QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL: A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK FOR INDIA’S CLIMATE POLICY
November 2015

• Poor quality of life (QoL) for large sections of society deprived of access to energy services, clean air, fresh water
• Emerging development challenges include energy security and resource constraints
• Need for a responsible strategy for international climate policy
Motivation
Sustainable Development Framework

The Study• Examined two scenarios for India’s development by
2030– Policy or business as usual (BAU) – Sustainable development (SD)
• Covered energy use and production sectors (accounting for ~70% GHG emissions)
• Quantified QoL metrics (next slide) and GHG emissions

CSTEP’s SD Pathway
• India needs a quality of life, SD framework for its national climate policy
• Emissions intensity cut by 16% over 2012 levels; 27-30% over 2005 levels
• 44 % of cumulative installed capacity from fossil free sources by 2030
• Consumption of imported coal and oil reduces by 40% and 24%; gas increases by 58%
India’s INDC commitment
• Promote a healthy and sustainable way of living
• Cut GHG emissions intensity by up to 35% from 2005 levels
• 40% cumulative electric power installed capacity from fossil free resources by 2030
• Considers universal energy access and energy security as one of the fundamental development goals for the country
SD Pathway and India’s INDC – A Comparison

• India’s INDC commitment is focussed towards a Sustainable Development (SD) paradigm
• Emission Reduction – Renewable Energy, Efficiency Gains and other sector
oriented technology upgradation are key interventions
• Better QoL– Access to Energy Services, Resource Sufficiency,
Reduced Air Pollution and Reduced Import Dependence
