    India submits climate action plan to UN
  • India submitted its 'climate action plan' to the United Nations Framework Convention (UNFCCC) in Bonn, Germany.

    India pledged to cut the intensity of its carbon emissions by 33-35% and boost the renewable energy capacity to 40 % by 2030 in its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) submitted.

    Is India's climate policy unrealistic?
  • India's climate-change policy consists of overarching targets; however, it has also been pushing for 'Make in India' which makes it difficulty.

    Over ambitious sector-specific climate targets would force certain sectors to become climate-effective at a faster pace, which would "mean additional costs to the economy or a slowdown in manufacturing."

    In contrast, other key countries have offered only umbrella figures for reduction in emissions.
