India is directly linked to land-use change through its solar energy expansion, which is projected to impact carbon sequestration and emissions as described in [1] and [2], as well as through its role in bioenergy-related land use change as noted in [3].

claimSolar expansion scenarios until 2050 will most likely lead to net land use change (LUC) emissions, although India can achieve net carbon sequestration if solar park land is managed as pastures.
claimOnly a limited portion of the land requirements and related land use change (LUC) emissions driven by bioenergy expansion are projected to occur within the EU, India, Japan, and South-Korea due to the tradeability of bioenergy.
measurementSolar energy expansion in India involves less land cover change per unit of output compared to other regions, with estimated land use change (LUC) emissions below 12 grams of CO2 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for all scenarios.
