Symposium on India’s Low-carbon Future: National, Subnational and Sectoral Roadmaps

India is at a pivotal moment in its climate action journey. The imminent update to its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in 2025, coupled with the implementation of roadmaps across key sectors outlined in the Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS), underscores the need for robust and inclusive modelling frameworks.

India's update to the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in 2025 and its Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS) must lay out robust, scalable, and inclusive modelling approaches to align climate action with developmental goals. This symposium provides a platform for experts, modellers, and researchers to:

• Review current modelling practices in India and globally.
• Identify key gaps in modelling across global, subnational, and sectoral levels.
• Collaborate on pathways to advance modelling practices and tools to address India's unique challenges.

To strengthen India's climate resilience and ambition, WRI India and CSTEP are organizing this symposium to bring together leading experts to discuss the state of modelling approaches, identify critical gaps and chart pathways for collaboration.

The discussions aim to enhance India's preparedness for its NDC update and accelerate the implementation of sectoral roadmaps for energy, transport, industry, and land use.
