KEY POINTS

·        COP 26 in Glasgow, Prime Minister announced that India has set a target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.

·        India also updated its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) that have to be met by 2030.

·        At the COP 21 in Paris, India, the third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide behind China and the US, made similar ambitious announcements and aimed to reduce the economy-wide emissions intensity by 33-35 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030.

·        In the transport sector, India has targeted a 30 per cent share of electric vehicles (EV) in new sales for 2030.

·        The Climate Action Tracker, an independent scientific analysis that tracks government climate action against the Paris Agreement targets, deems India’s performance as “highly insufficient” simply because coal represents about 70 per cent of the country’s energy supply.

·        This means if the growth rate of the economy remains the same, the country’s carbon dioxide emissions will double to 5 Gt by 2040. India’s share of global emissions will increase from 7 per cent today to 14 per cent by 2040.

·        Indian officials argue that Western countries are historically responsible for climate change, India’s per capita emissions remain very low, growth is the country’s priority.
