SUMMARY:Evaluating sectoral decarbonization pathways for India’s net-zero ambitions
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join Professor Mike Lahr for a guest speaker presentation by Professor Kakali Mukhopadhyay\, Ph.D. (she/her/elle)\, McGill University\, Montreal\, CANADA \nAssociated reading: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667095X22000113 \nPAPER ABSTRACT: \nIn the first of its kind\, this study evaluates the socio-economic impacts of two ambitious decarbonization pathways for India (i) aligned with India’s Nationally Determined Commitments (NDC) negotiated through the Paris Agreement in 2015 and (ii) more ambitious NDC plus decarbonization trajectory aligned with India’s recent COP26 commitments at subnational level. The analysis uses a newly developed dynamic macro-econometric regional simulation model – E3-India to evaluate changes in key economic and emission parameters due to energy transition at both national and state levels for India. Impacts on emission intensity of the economy\, GDP\, employment and income are assessed to highlight the larger macro-economic and regional distributive impacts of existing NDC targets for India. \nThe results provide three key insights\, (i) overall socio-economic impacts of committing to an ambitious decarbonization trajectory primarily articulated through NDCs for India will be positive\, but the transition trajectory will have unequal distributive impacts across states and sectors. (ii)The NDC trajectories will have an expansive impact on the harder-to-abate construction sector so along with decarbonization of the energy sector\, the steel and cement sector would also need focused decarbonization measures. (iii) In the absence of policies promoting ‘Just transitions’ smaller coal-bearing states will be worst off\, stuck with the expansion of only primary and extractive mining sectors while high renewable energy potential states will show expansion in technology-focused sectors and high skilled sectors. \nBIO: \nKakali Mukhopadhyay is an Associate Professor for the Agricultural Economics Program (Department of Natural Resource Sciences) at McGill University\, Montreal\, Canada. She is a former Professor of Economics at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE)\, Pune\, India and Adjunct Professor/Senior Fellow associate at McGill University\, Department of Agricultural Economics (2016-23).

SUMMARY:15-Minute Neighborhoods
DESCRIPTION:15 Minute Neighborhoods: A Pathway to Creating Healthier\, More Just\, Resilient & Sustainable Communities in New Jersey \nThe 15-minute neighborhood concept gained visibility as the global pandemic demonstrated that local access to basic life needs is critically important. In addition to being an important contribution to New Jersey’s efforts to achieve its goals of reducing pollution that causes climate change\, 15-minute neighborhoods provide residents with easy access to parks\, schools\, gathering places\, social services\, places to buy healthy fresh food\, and\, in some cases\, public transit\, within a comfortable walk or bike ride. \nNear-term\, multi-billion-dollar investments in infrastructure\, a revolution in transportation technologies not seen in a century\, the recalibration of relationships between people and places brought about by the pandemic\, and converging policies related to energy\, health\, climate\, transportation\, and environmental justice provide New Jersey with an unprecedented opportunity to rethink and adjust how we design and build communities. \nJoin Jon Carnegie\, Executive Director of the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University\, for a summary of a two-year study designed to investigate how a comprehensive\, multi-goal planning and policy framework can be used to achieve carbon-neutral transportation choices that simultaneously support healthy\, just\, and resilient communities for all New Jersey residents. \nPRESENTATION\nJon Carnegie\, Executive Director\, Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center\, Rutgers University \nMODERATOR\nJeanne Herb\, Executive Director\, Environmental Analysis and Communications Group\, Rutgers University Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy \nRESPONSE PANEL\nAlex Ambrose\, Policy Analyst\, New Jersey Policy Perspective\nZoe Baldwin\, Vice President\, Regional Plan Association\nElizabeth Semple\, Director of Adaptation\, The Nature Conservancy NJ \nRegister Here
