The need to use technology to isolate carbon emissions from economic growth has grown more pressing as India’s economy grows quickly. Technology innovation’s revolutionary potential to overcome climate change’s concerns and achieve sustainable development.
The fifth-largest economy in the world, India, is presently going through a phase of rapid economic growth and industrialization. Its GDP has continuously increased at rates that place it among the major countries with the fastest rates of growth. But this quick development coincides with an increase in energy use, which is mostly driven by coal and other fossil fuels.
Given the nation’s growing urbanization and population of almost 1.4 billion, striking a balance between environmental responsibility and economic ambitions has become crucial.
India must develop. That cannot be negotiated, and it is likely that our GDP will double every ten years. The possibility that we may ultimately double emissions is very real. Technology is one way that these emissions can be separated. India is in a rare position to adopt green technologies early in its growth and avoid old carbon-intensive approaches.
India needs to be inclusive, equitable, and technologically innovative in its shift to a low-carbon economy in order to maintain its position as a leader in sustainable development in a world warming quickly.
