New Delhi, Jul 24 (UNI) India has urged the G20 nations which have per capita greenhouse gas emissions above the world average to bring them down, as the grouping's Energy and Climate Joint Ministerial failed to agree on phasing out coal power and overseas coal financing.
Power and New and Renewable Energy Minister, R K Singh, taking part virtually in the meeting in Naples, Italy, on Friday asked the G20 nations to take immediate steps over the next few years.
Highlighting India's own efforts, the minister told the delegates that against the targeted emission reduction of 33-35% by 2030, India has already achieved emission reduction of 28% over 2005 levels and at this pace, it is all set to exceed its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) commitments before 2030.
