India is the most populated country in the world with one of the most dynamic economies. It also faces environmental damage due to climate change. Lifting millions out of poverty in India requires rapid economic growth but environmental challenges pose a significant barrier to this. Innovative research and policy can help India navigate towards sustainable growth and provide a global model for these pathways for the world.

Bringing together policymakers, funders and researchers, we will discuss and debate how to build a movement around the promotion of sustainable growth in India, and mark the beginning of a collaboration between LSE and the Indian Statistical Institute in this space.
