To kickstart a brighter climate future, The Center for Sustainable Enterprise at University of North Carolina has launched a brand new global competition: the India Impact Challenge powered by Quantum Advisors India. During the spring semester we will challenge student teams representing schools around the world to compete and pitch investment strategies in India to help tackle climate change.
The India Impact Challenge motivates student teams across the world to devise plausible and innovative investment strategies in India that will enable equitable growth, while limiting greenhouse gas emissions.

ENVIRONMENT
If India achieves China’s per capita emission levels, world GHG emissions are expected to be at 63 bn tCO2e in 2030; nearly 8 bn tCO2e higher than the target specified in the NDCs (5).
Without adequate investments in cleaner sources of energy, India is likely to blow a big hole in the 55 billion tons emissions target by 2030 (based on National Plans).
