Post-COVID-19 Australian and Indian Collaboration for Enhanced Effectiveness in the Resource Sector for Renewable Energy

Abstract

India and Australia have a diverse range of ties, spanning from geostrategic collaboration and trade to global influence. An initial period of warmth followed by decades of coldness characterizes the relationship between Australia and India. This chapter makes a case for improving resource sector related bilateral relations between New Delhi and Canberra to aim for a sustainable future through strategic collaboration in climate change and the renewable energy sector. Trade and investment possibilities exist between the two countries, and over the years, the engagements between countries have been neglected. The worldwide focus on renewable energy adoption through technological innovation and collaboration is thriving. This research focuses on understanding if there has been a change in the relationship between the two since the pandemic. Through the analysis and observation of qualitative data, suggestions with the current scenario and the future scope of both countries, particularly in the resources and energy sector, have been discussed in this chapter.
