India and the Global Commons: A Case Study of the International Solar Alliance

The document examines India's engagement in global climate politics, specifically focusing on the International Solar Alliance (ISA) as a mechanism for promoting sustainable energy in Africa. It argues that the ISA contributes to climate change mitigation while enhancing energy security and sustainable livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa by providing access to various forms of capital for poor communities. The text concludes by urging African policymakers to implement complementary initiatives to support the continent's population of over 1.33 billion people.

• India's leadership of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) supports climate change mitigation and improves energy security and sustainable livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa by granting impoverished communities access to social, human, economic, and natural capital.
• There is a need for African policymakers to develop initiatives that align with India's efforts to ensure sustainable livelihoods for Africa's population, which exceeds 1.33 billion people.
