Editor’s note: In an excerpt from his book Still Ours to Lead, Bruce Jones argues that supporting clean energy growth in India offers the U.S. a starting point for addressing climate change. Read the full excerpt at Policy Options, and a summary below. India presents a prime example for how the United States must engage with climate change and energy.

However, India cannot avoid the effects of carbon emissions as it faces the reality of a changing climate. If the country wants to grow, reduce poverty and avoid severe climate costs at the same time, it has to engage with the West to move away from carbon-based fuels. The U.S. has a strong opportunity to support green energy growth in India, and in so doing, improve its own strategic position and the future stability of our climate.
