About this ebook
Samir Saran’s essays in this joint publication from Global Policy and the Observer Researh Foundation illuminate the way forward for climate financing, technology transfer and green growth, providing an invaluable read to politicians, researchers and students of India’s climate diplomacy.
Despite economic, social and scientific realities, the global narrative on climate change has long been trapped in a Manichean world, in which India has often been portrayed as a deal breaker or a standout. This compilation of articles breaks the mould, situating India’s role in the global political and economic realities of our time. India, as he succinctly argues, is indeed the exception in the arc of global development: The environmental imperative to fight climate change requires India to develop an unprecedented and untested model of industrialisation. And while doing so, we may note that India has to successfully meet its twin imperatives of poverty eradication and equitable growth. That policymakers, not only in India but globally, too, should acknowledge, accept and adapt to this reality is the key implication of what Samir suggests. He deconstructs this challenge into one which responds to India’s lifeline needs and the other, which attends to the lifestyle aspirations of its people.

Global Policy
Global Policy is an innovative and interdisciplinary journal bringing together world class academics and leading practitioners to analyse both public and private solutions to global problems and issues. It focuses on understanding globally relevant risks and collective action problems; policy challenges that have global impact; and competing and converging discourses about global risks and policy responses. It also includes case studies of policy with clear lessons for other countries and regions; how policy responses, politics and institutions interrelate at the global level; and the conceptual, theoretical and methodological innovations needed to explain and develop policy in these areas.Global Policy will be invaluable to those working in economics, global politics, government, international law, international relations, international political economy, and many other disciplines that contribute to developing global policy. The journal is also designed to inform and engage senior policymakers, private and public corporations, non-governmental organisations, and international bodies. The overall objective is to stimulate deep policy learning, relevant for the academy and for governments and key non-governmental players.Global Policy's Editorial Board comprises a distinguished panel of academics who are supported by an International Advisory Board and a Practitioners' Advisory Board of experts from around the world to ensure the focus remains on pressing and relevant global issues. Global Policy is based at Durham University.
