Carbon Taxes: The Solution to the Climate Change Crisis (ConvSDG x MOEFCC)

Presenting my paper, "The Impact of Carbon Taxes in Developing Countries: Formulating a Carbon Tax Policy for India" to Ms Leena Nandan, Secretary to the Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change, Government of India

I recently presented my paper on carbon taxes to Ms. Leena Nandan, Secretary to the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (Government of India). This paper titled "The Impact of Carbon Taxes in Developing Countries: Formulating a Carbon Tax

Policy for India" talks about how carbon taxes are more progressive in developing countries when compared to developed countries. It then also calculates a Carbon Tax Rate for India using the Social Cost of Carbon approach. During this presentation, Ms Leela Nandan talked about the importance of addressing climate change and the essential role that the youth will have to play in solving this crisis. She was glad to see that I had been working on the issue of sustainable development, which she highlighted as an essential part of India's growth. Ongoing dialogue continues with the Ministry!
