N2  - India faces a dilemma. Its prime minister promised access to electricity, education and health to all citizens. Meanwhile, it aims in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for a low carbon economy. The president of one of Asia’s most influential think tanks concludes if India doesn’t achieve the "Indian dream" in a climate friendly way, it will either destroy India or the planet. Since it is the most highly populated country in the world (17 % of the whole world population lives in India), the way it tackles climate change has a crucial impact globally.  To assess policy options, it is substantial to see to which scenarios policies lead to. Integrated assessment models provide these future scenarios by combining knowledge from a variety of disciplines.
