Energy and Environment in India: The Politics of a Chronic Crisis

English

By (author): Johannes Urpelainen

India is driving some of the most important trends in global energy marketswith vast environmental implications. As the country grows wealthier, Indians are buying more cars, air conditioners, plane tickets, and other goods that increase demand for fossil fuels. At the same time, the country still faces widespread poverty, and it struggles to address persistent environmental and energy-sector problems, from frequent power outages to a significant number of deaths linked to air pollution.

Johannes Urpelainen provides an expert guide to Indias energy and environmental issues that incorporates both domestic and global perspectives. He details how unequal economic development and rapid population growth have brought the country to its current state: a potential engine of the world economy hampered by environmental hazards and energy poverty. Urpelainen argues that institutional shortcomings have led wealthier Indians to find private solutions that protect them from threats such as air pollution and heat waves, but exclude the poor. The retreat of the rich limits the states ability to regulate the energy sector or address environmental degradation. Urpelainen examines Indias most severe environmental crises, considering how climate disruptions are affecting the countrys present and future. He analyzes Indias role in global environmental politics and assesses the prospects of achieving a more sustainable society. Useful and accessible, this book also offers pragmatic solutions to help overcome the constraints on effective energy and environmental policy. See more
