India will adopt a low carbon growth path in the 12th five year plan to meet the national target of lowering the emission intensity of its gross domestic product (GDP) by 20-25 per cent by 2020, the “Economic Survey 2011-12” has suggested. While the Centre will put its best foot forward to achieve a sustainable growth, the survey also underlined the importance of adopting climate friendly policies at the state level to lower the overall carbon footprint so that a green cover can be put on the GDP growth. The survey, for the first time, has a separate chapter on climate change suggesting the road map for sustainable growth in the next five years.
