Summary
An exploration of how carbon credit mechanisms and nature-based solutions can drive sustainable economic growth while preserving India's ecological heritage.
Payments-for-ecosystems is moving from the margins of climate policy to the centre of India's green industrial strategy.
This study examines the design choices facing the country as it builds a credible carbon market — registry architecture, additionality tests and integration with global standards.
We argue that India's biodiversity and agrarian footprint position it to be one of the world's largest exporters of high-integrity nature credits.
