Climate Action in 2021: India leads by example

New Delhi, Dec 31 (UNI) The year 2021 saw India taking the challenge of climate change head-on, not only leading by example with the high goals on climate action it set for itself, but also partnering with other countries to take forward global clean energy initiatives, like the International Solar Alliance and the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure.
At the COP26 in Glasgow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set out India’s climate change targets clearly through the ‘panchamrita’ — or the five-fold strategy.
He announced that India will achieve net zero emissions by 2070; he announced raising of the renewable energy target to 500 GW by 2030, from the earlier target of 450 GW; that India will meet 50 per cent of its energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030; that India will reduce the total carbon emissions by one billion tonnes till 2030; and reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by less than 45 per cent.
