Question raised in Lok Sabha on Implementation of INDCs, 09/08/2016
Question raised in Lok Sabha on Implementation of INDCs, 09/08/2016. India, in its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), has committed to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 percent by 2030 from 2005 level. Its INDC also has the ambition to achieve about 40 percent cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel based energy resources by 2030 with the help of transfer of technology and low cost international finance including from Green Climate Fund (GCF). The creation of an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030 is another quantifiable goal in its INDC.
