The report calls for <strong>renewed attention and new policy design <\/strong>given the additional vulnerabilities of climate change, yet protecting the rights of the poor and marginalized communities.<\/li>\n<li>The report highlights the importance of prioritising fairness, climate justice, <strong>inclusivity<\/strong>, respect for divergent worldviews, and <strong>sharing knowledge<\/strong> for transformative change. Prioritising these <strong>shared values and inclusivity<\/strong> is crucial to achieving sustainable climate action.<\/li>\n<li>In India, <strong>public consultation process<\/strong> in development projects needs to be revisited to include those changes that successfully shift development to sustainable models.<\/li>\n<li>India is the hotbed of global climate investment, but it needs to <strong>distribute equally<\/strong> to adaptation, along with mitigation efforts in the clean energy space.<\/li>\n<li>India has policies for insurance, social protection and safety nets that can reduce vulnerability and exposure. However, <strong>innovation and adoption of low-emission technologies<\/strong> lag due to limited finance and technology transfer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>India must act urgently on ways to <strong>decarbonise the energy supply sector<\/strong> and reduce the burden on it. The sector must meet the ever-increasing demand by managing wasteful energy-use through regulatory, market-based, and non-market-based policies and redistributive policy packages and retraining of people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction: Contextual introduction.
