E3-India initiative in collaboration with Gokhale institute of Politics & Economics, Cambridge Econometrics, U.K. and Regulatory Assistance Project, USA are jointly launching a book: Economy-Wide Assessment of Regional Policies in India: Applications of E3-India Model on December 14, 2021.

15 officers from the state of Bihar participated in this workshop.

21 officers from the states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh participated in this workshop.

The E3-India team shared early results from new research aimed at evaluating the socio-economic outcomes of meeting India's Nationally Determined Commitments under the Paris Accord. Initial results reveal overall positive impacts at the national level, but also underscore the adverse social impacts in coal-bearing states already identified as climate hotspots. The research forms a crucial foundation for the development of effective state level climate policy in India.

Using the E3-India model to analyze the socio-economic impact of meeting India's Nationally Determined Commitments, Dr. Joshi and Dr. Mukhopadhyay argue that the 1.5°C pathway offers greater growth and development opportunities than the 2°C pathway. Overall, the national impact on income generation, employment and government revenue is positive. However, adverse social impacts in coal-bearing states will need to be addressed to build the policy consensus needed to ensure deep decarbonization.
