ABSTRACT
In Chapter 8, Fernandes, Jörgensen and Narayanan provided an overview of India’s domestic climate policy over the last three decades, described policy shifts, and drawing on comparative climate politics literature, discussed factors that affected policy change. The present chapter takes a closer look at India’s international and domestic climate policies and examines their interplay with the international climate negotiation process. It discusses the outcomes, again in both international and domestic contexts, and the extent to which they matched up to the goals set by India in the respective scenarios and it highlights that the current international ambitions to limit temperature increase to 2°C are grossly insufficient.
