India enhanced climate ambitions in post COVID-19 scenario, say experts welcoming updated NDC under Paris Agreement

Firstpost  

To further a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, ‘LIFE’- ‘Lifestyle for Environment’ as a key to combating climate change has been added to India’s Nationally Determined Contribution New Delhi: India has enhanced its climate ambitions in the post-pandemic scenario when the world is seeing less action on climate change and this needs to be appreciated, experts have said welcoming the country’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Agreement. The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved India’s updated NDC, incorporating two of the promises made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Glasgow conference – reducing emissions intensity of GDP by 45 per cent by 2030, compared to 2005 levels, and achieving about 50 per cent cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by that year. Similarly, the decision to increase emission intensity reduction target by another 10 per cent will cover another ‘Panchamrit’ goal – reducing CO2 emissions by 1 billion ton by 2030,” a senior official told PTI. He had said India will fulfil 50 per cent of its energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030 and reduce its total projected carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes by that year.
