　　报告内容摘要：

　　In this paper we analyse the economic impacts of global climate change mitigation policies on India that are consistent with the 2°C objective. Policy makers have advocated the need to achieve higher growth rates to eradicate poverty and to achieve human development goals (Planning Commission, 2011). However, the energy requirements for achieving high growth rates in a sustainable manner present a major policy challenge. Using a CGE model for India we find the choice of mitigation policy is relatively unimportant from an efficiency perspective. However, in terms of income distribution it is crucial. The emissions trading regime leads to better income distribution relative to the carbon tax regime.
