As one of the world's fastest-growing economies, India faces the dual challenge of meeting its growing energy demand and tackling environmental issues. With a rapidly growing population and expanding industries, India's need for energy has surged dramatically in recent years. Simultaneously, environmental concerns, including climate change and air pollution, have gained widespread recognition.
The transition towards renewable energy for a sustainable future is one of the biggest challenges facing the world today. As we face the effects of climate change, it becomes evident that we shift away from our dependence on fossil fuels and towards renewable energy technologies such as wind, solar and geothermal power. However, deploying these technologies poses ethical concerns about fair distribution and equity among different generations. The Doughnut Economy is a concept that can help us address the issues related to sustainability and fairness in our economic system. It envisions an economy that is both restorative and inclusive while staying within the earth’s ecological boundaries.
