The hiding behind the poor debate: A synthetic overview

Abstract

This chapter surveys the literature on emissions, energy and income distribution in India (as of 2012). It also projects possible emissions scenarios till 2030. India has a significant income and emissions inequality which hides the rapidly rising emissions of the top 5-10% of the population.
