Only if India is sustainable, will the world be sustainable
India is now the epicenter of a global PROBLEM…
….with 50% of new COVID-19 cases reported in India
The whole humanity is worried about being contaminated by the Indian variant
But India could also become the epicenter of global SOLUTIONS as…
…India alone is expected to contribute to a whopping 50% of United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in next 10 years
It’s in humanity’s “enlightened self-interest” to help India embark on a sustainable development trajectory
If India doesn’t drastically curb its CO2 emissions in next 10 years, it will worsen climate crisis and all Western economies will suffer
Conversely, if India can transition to a socially-inclusive, resilient, and regenerative frugal economy it will inspire entire humanity to adopt India’s “regenerative development blueprint”
Bottom line: Only if India becomes sustainable will the world become sustainable
We are entering an interdependent Age of Convergence where:
WHAT IS BAD FOR INDIA WILL BE BAD FOR THE WORLD
WHAT IS GOOD FOR INDIA WILL BE GOOD FOR THE WORLD
Today the world looks at India with FEAR
Tomorrow the world may look at India with HOPE
