印度2035年气候目标：增长和全球领导力的商机

ForewordsAs the world faces urgent climate and energychallenges, it is clear that no single nation orinstitution can tackle them alone. Technology,research, and collaboration must drive our transitiontoward cleaner energy, resource efficiency,and circular economies. The next decade willbe decisive. If we are to meet our climate andsustainability goals, we must integrate policywith science, scale up innovations, and fosterinternational partnerships that translate ideasinto action.India has made commendable progress on its 2030climate targets, including reducing the emissionintensity of GDP and significantly expanding non-fossil-fuel-based power capacity.The NDC for2035 provides a strategic opportunity to advanceIndia’s aspirations of becoming a developed nationby 2047, while ensuring energy security, economicresilience and environmental protection.Herein, our partnership with the global We MeanBusiness Coalition assumes significant importance.Together with champions of the Indian industry,we reaffirm our commitment to strengtheningthese collaborations and co-creating solutions thatdrive sustainable growth, not just for individualcompanies, but for India and the world at large.We are delighted to co-present this briefingdocument where we have consolidated privatesector-perspectives on transition barriers,investment needs, and enabling policies. Thebriefing underscores how the NDC can becomea tool for industrial modernization, employmentgeneration, and a just transition to clean energy – ifguided by clean policies, sector specific targets andinstitutional mechanisms for implementation.Vibha DhawanDirector General, TERI India’s transition is not just a national story—itis a global one.As one of the world’s largest andfastest-growing economies, India’s decisionswill influence the global trajectory of emissions,investment flows, and sustainable developmentoutcomes.We have seen that ambition inspires ambition. Awell designed, forward-looking NDC can offer thelong-term clarity and confidence that businessesneed to invest in clean technologies, scaleinnovations across value chains, and align with netzero targets. Already, 127 Indian companies havecommitted to science-based emissions reductiongoals. Leading businesses are accelerating theirrenewable energy adoption, electrifying transportfleets, improving energy efficiency, and investing inlow-carbon manufacturing. This shift is underway –but it must now be scaled and accelerated. Whatbusinesses need is a clear policy framework thatsupports these transitions.At the We Mean Business Coalition, we arecommitted to supporting this transformation. Weare proud to partner with TERI (The Energy andResources Institute) to present this timely briefing.I am really pleased to see the We Mean BusinessCoalition’s Call to Action for Ambitious andInvestible NDCs adapted to the Indian context. Thisbriefing draws on insights from Indian businessesto put forward a set of practical recommendationsaimed at making India’s next NDC bothambitious and implementable by business. Therecommendations are not just aspirational – theyare grounded in what Indian businesses are alreadydoing and what they are willing to do, if backed bystrong, consistent policy signals.María MendiluceCEO, We Mean Business Coalition 3India has demonstrated strong climate leadership under the Paris Agreementand is on track to meet its existing Nationally Determined Contribution(NDC) for 2030. As countries prepare to submit new NDCs ahead of COP30in 2025, which reflect a country’s “highest possible ambition,” grounded inthe principles of “common but differentiated responsibilities and respectivecapabilities,” India has a timely opportunity to build on this success bysetting out a clear, ambitious vision for 2035 that advances both nationaldevelopment goals and global climate commitments.A well-crafted NDC can serve as a strategic tool for India to advance inclusive,low-carbon and nature-positive economic growth; enhance energy security;andboost competitiveness and resilience in a rapidly evolving globaleconomy. At the same time, it can help to attract investment and mobilizethe scale of private sector finance needed to deliver on India’s long-term NetZero by 2070 commitment.Indian business backs the transition: a landmark poll shows that 99% ofexecutives in Indian companies support a transition from fossil fuels torenewable energy (RE)-based electricity generation, with most (84%) wantingthe transition within the next decade1. Moreover, 59% view RE as critical toboosting economic growth in line with India’s development priorities (ibid).Recognizing this imperative, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI)and the We Mean Business Coalition, with strategic inputs from industrystakeholders,have developed recommendations for how the Indiangovernment can ensure India’s new NDC drives enhanced business actionand investment in climate action.It covers the following three pillars andbuilds on the global ‘Business Call to Act
