Seattle University’s Albers School of Business and Economics invites the public to a Bosanko Lecture featuring Aparna Sawhney, Professor at the Centre for the Study of the World Economy in the School of International Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University (India).

In this academic public lecture, Professor Sawhney will examine India’s clean energy transition through the lens of sustainability, economic growth, and energy security in a developing-economy context. As one of the world’s fastest-growing economies and home to nearly 1.5 billion people, India faces the complex challenge of expanding energy access while reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development.

The lecture will explore India’s renewable energy policies, its experience with tradeable clean energy credits, and emerging approaches to carbon pricing within its broader development strategy. Attendees will gain insight into how policy design, market mechanisms, and international trade intersect with climate goals in developing countries.

The lecture will be followed by a moderated Q&A session. This event is open to students, faculty, researchers, policy professionals, and members of the public interested in climate policy, sustainable development, and global energy transitions.
