With India poised for significant growth across various sectors, addressing carbon emissions becomes a strategic necessity as well as potential opportunities. Similarly, the burgeoning urbanization and construction boom underscore the importance of reimagining building design, energy consumption, and waste management to mitigate climate impacts of buildings. India has already announced that it will become a net-zero carbon nation by 2070. CII has facilitated about 12 billion square feet of green building space and launched the “CII Net Zero Programme” to support Indian companies in achieving net zero.

How can Indian industry navigate the path towards achieving Net Zero emissions, considering ongoing efforts, opportunities, and challenges, particularly from technological and financing standpoints?
