This is the fifth blog in ICCT’s series focused on their meta-study of India’s road transport emissions analyses.

Having closely studied the assumptions of the various emissions models (all detailed in the first, introductory blog), we can say with confidence that there are many policy avenues that remain unexplored from a decarbonization perspective. Many of the models don’t incorporate the entire set of emission reduction strategies already commonly employed, and thus these in no way set a boundary as far as what India can achieve. This is a call to our fellow researchers to aim for higher ambitions in transport models, because our future course of action will be determined by these.
