Abstract
To fulfil its commitments towards sustainable development, India is transitioning from fossil fuels to renewables in the energy sector, trying to shift consumption and cropping practices in the agriculture sector, and promoting alternative fuel vehicles in the transport sector. In this study, we analyse the current state of energy, agriculture, and transport policies using the triple bottom line approach and provide a strategic framework that offers a mechanism and a long-term roadmap for a sustainable future by integrating the synergies between these three key sectors. Decentralised production and consumption of resources holds the key to economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
