As the energy transition in India accelerates, how do decisionmakers ensure that the transition is a just and equitable transition? Neha Sharma (CIF) interviews Ajay Mathur (International Solar Alliance), Srestha Banerjee (iForest), and Mike Ward (CIF) to look at the underlying drivers of India’s energy transitions, and key considerations for creating a just transition, including the need for fairness and equity, geographic disparities, lack of social mobility, labor policy implications, and energy access.
This week’s episode of CSIS Energy 360 podcast is part of the Just Transitions Initiative, a partnership of the Climate Investment Funds and the CSIS Energy Program. For more, visit the Just Transition Initiative.
