India, through the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, made a commitment to reduce its emissions intensity of GDP (kg CO2/INR) by 33–35% in 2030, over the 2005 levels (GoI, 2015). Although this commitment does not mandate any sector specific mitigation obligation, at least two missions (National Solar Mission and the …
This report assesses how far the G20 countries have progressed in their transition from a “brown” economy based on fossil fuels to a “green” low-carbon and climate resilient economy. Collectively, the G20 needs roughly to halve emissions in 2030 to meet the Paris goals, but adequate long-term strategies to do …
EP100, a global initiative led by The Climate Group in partnership with the Alliance to Save Energy, offers Indian companies a crucial platform for embarking on a successful net-zero journey which can, in turn, enable India to meet its overarching climate goals. This whitepaper contains case studies from EP100 members …
India announced its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) at the Conference of Parties (CoP) meeting in Paris, 2015. In its NDCs, India seeks to (a) reduce the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions intensity of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 33–35% of 2005 levels, by 2030; (b) build 40% of fossil-free power …
