Green Signals, by Jairam Ramesh, talks about the ecology, growth, and democracy in India. It explains the “1991 moment” in India's environmental decision-making, narrating how, for the first time ever, the doors of the environment ministry were opened to voices that were hitherto unheard during the policy-making process. Summary of the Book This title discusses the attempts made to change the way the environment is perceived, both by campaigners of environmental security and those who prize economic growth no matter what. Chronicled by an important decision-maker, it addresses the problems that might have to be confronted to ensure economic growth with ecological security. It takes readers through India's coming of age role as a proactive, progressive leader in the global environmental and climate change community. Using speaking orders on significant projects, notes and letters to the Prime Minister, ministerial coworkers, chief ministers among others, the author offers an insight into the discussions, challenges and hurdles to bringing environmental concern into the arena of political and economic decision-making.
