NEW DELHI: As India is gradually moving towards renewable sources to meet its energy demand, experts on Tuesday released a roadmap for ‘just transition’ so that the focus on renewable energy doesn’t impact livelihood of those engaged in fossil fuel-based industries in as many as 120 districts across the country.
The roadmap, jointly released by Congress leader and former environment minister Jairam Ramesh and BJP MP Jayant Sinha, focuses on how to transition away from coal for the country’s energy demand without impacting the livelihood of over 20 million workers who are currently directly or indirectly engaged in fossil fuel and fossil fuel-dependent industries.
