As the world prepares itself to confront grim and unprecedented climate challenges that threaten the wellbeing of the future generations, the fightback to circumvent this damage is also a spirited one, particularly from India. \n\nPrime Minister Narendra Modi has a clear vision: the country’s energy development ought to be inextricably linked to its climate goals. Therefore, the energy transition to renewable and green energy has assumed key importance in India’s growth story. \n\nPM Modi raised India’s stakes by many notches at the COP 26 in Glasgow in 2021, where he presented India’s panchamrita vision of climate action and raised India’s credibility as a climate-conscious country. The ambitious panchamrit proves the determination of commitment to a climate action pathway: - India will reach its non-fossil energy capacity of 500 GW by 2030 - India will meet 50 per cent of its energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030 - India will reduce the total projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes from now onwards till 2030 - India will reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by less than 45 per cent by 2030 - India will achieve the net zero emissions target by 2070 Is the country on course to achieve its larger climate goals and emerge as a global leader in this sphere like it has in many others? Climate Action India chronicles the global movement for protection of climate while decoding India’s stellar role in setting an example for the world. India is on mission mode towards the net-zero mission. How likely is she to succeed?
