Policy Intervention Towards Ecological Balance Through Reduction of Carbon Footprint in India
subject: carbon emissions; carbon footprint; international policies; regulatory structures; sustainable developments
description: India is experiencing unprecedented urbanisation and industrialisation with consequential carbon emission, which significantly increases the gap between international commitments and reality. This paper explores the recent policy initiatives aimed at achieving promised indicators and engage in recent developments on decarbonisation. The paper further identifies the gap between sustainable development and economic advancement. The paper reflects on the recent carbon-mitigating policies adopted by India. A doctrinal research strategy has been used to address this issue. International, foreign and domestic policies have been discussed to understand the impact of these policies on climate change crisis. Models from other nations were also evaluated, taking into consideration India's unique socio-economic context. This research aims to identify adaptable techniques to effectively manage emissions in critical sectors, including energy, transport and industry. The paper proposes a set of concrete policy interventions that can promote ecological balance while sustaining economic development. Once the regulatory bodies initiate appropriate implementation of these policies, the carbon emissions in India shall be more resilient and effective. 2026 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
