ABSTRACT
India has evolved into the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the world, accounting for 5 per cent of global emissions. If current projections hold true, it will account for up to one-third of the world’s energy demand by 2050. As a result, India will assume a greater role in the global climate regime, putting the spotlight on climate policy-making and on the matrix of influences and interests engaging in this process in the world’s largest democracy. 2
