India's Way Forward

Explore the critical need for transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources in this TEDx talk by Professor (Dr.) Jyoti K Parikh. Delve into the global concerns of climate change, pollution, and strategic insecurities, and understand the challenges of replacing the entire fossil fuel supply chain with clean, efficient, and affordable alternatives like solar, wind, hydro, and biomass. Learn about India's ambitious targets for reducing CO2 emissions and transitioning away from coal, including plans to reduce CO2 intensity by 50% over 2005 levels, achieve 50% power capacity from non-fossil fuels by 2030, and reach net-zero emissions by 2070. Consider the concept of a "just transition" for workers in the fossil fuel industry and examine the economic and societal challenges posed by this necessary shift towards a sustainable, pollution-free future.
