How can the Indian economy help incentivize climate-conscious entities?

Abstract

Imagine you're a young child perched high up in the branches of a big, old banyan tree. This tree isn’t just any tree—it's your special place to observe the world around you. From your leafy spot, you see nature’s stories unfold. Ants march in a straight line, working together, while butterflies flutter by, their colourful wings brightening the air. And suddenly, your grandfather’s words come to mind: "Learn from the tree, from nature. It’s the best lesson you’ll ever have." Just as the banyan tree offers a unique perspective, the ever-evolving landscape of global economics reveals a clear truth: the future belongs to those who innovate, and today, innovation can only be green. As we gaze into the ‘Horizons of Change’ from our symbolic tree, India is at a crucial turning point. With the climate crisis looming large, the Indian economy can be uniquely positioned to lead the world in nurturing climate-conscious businesses. But how do we ignite this transformation?
