Conclusion

To conclude, India's state of preparedness to implement the Paris Agreement clearly needs to be enhanced. This is largely due to several gaps in policies, institutions and governance framework that require integration of climate and environmental concerns in to developmental processes. This is especially so in light of the fact that there are several developmental decits to be overcome. However, these developmental decits need to be overcome through a resource efcient pathway, which would also conform to meeting with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

A separate Strategy Note is being prepared, that would suggest approaches, tactics and activities in addition to Strategies that could help to address the challenges of implementing the Paris Agreement and attaining the aspirational goals of the SDGs.
