INDIA TO REDUCE EMISSIONS INTENSITY OF ITS GDP BY 33-35 PERCENT BY 2030
India has submitted its INDC to UNFCCC, and pledged to reduce its greenhouse emission intensity by 33 to 35 percent by 2030 from 2005 level. India also intended to achieve 40 per cent cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel by 2030. Apart from these two major announcements India has kept the goal of increasing forest and tree cover for an additional carbon sink of 2.5 - 3 billion tons.
It has been estimated that a sum $ 2.5 trillion will be required for achievement of these goals by 2030. These goals are ambitious but achievable.
India is fourth biggest emitter of greenhouse gases after China, United States and European Union.
To adopt a climate friendly and a cleaner path than the one followed hitherto by others at corresponding level of economic development.
To reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 per cent by 2030 from 2005 level.
To achieve about 40 per cent 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).
To create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.
To better adapt to climate change by enhancing investments in development programmes in sectors vulnerable to climate change, particularly agriculture, water resources, Himalayan region, coastal regions, health and disaster management.
To mobilise domestic and new and additional funds from developed countries to implement the above mitigation and adaptation actions in view of the resource required and the resource gap.
To build capacities, create domestic framework and international architecture for quick diffusion of cutting edge climate technology in India and for joint collaborative R&D for such future technologies.
India submitted its 38 page INDC just before the deadline of submission in final hours. It was asked by UNFCCC to submit individual goal from every country. Including India, 120 countries have now submitted their INDCs.
2. Lower carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 60 to 65 per cent from the 2005 level
3. To increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 20 per cent
4. To increase the forest stock volume by around 4.5 billion cubic meters on the 2005 level.
2. Achieve about 40 percent electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel based energy resources by 2030 with help of transfer of technology and low cost international finance
3. Create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.
It has been estimated that a sum $ 2.5 trillion will be required for achievement of these goals by 2030. These goals are ambitious but achievable.
India is fourth biggest emitter of greenhouse gases after China, United States and European Union.
Following are eight goals of India's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution:
To put forward and further propagate a healthy and sustainable way of living based on traditions and values of conservation and moderation.
To adopt a climate friendly and a cleaner path than the one followed hitherto by others at corresponding level of economic development.
To reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 per cent by 2030 from 2005 level.
To achieve about 40 per cent 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).
To create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.
To better adapt to climate change by enhancing investments in development programmes in sectors vulnerable to climate change, particularly agriculture, water resources, Himalayan region, coastal regions, health and disaster management.
To mobilise domestic and new and additional funds from developed countries to implement the above mitigation and adaptation actions in view of the resource required and the resource gap.
To build capacities, create domestic framework and international architecture for quick diffusion of cutting edge climate technology in India and for joint collaborative R&D for such future technologies.
What is INDC?
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) is a kind of promise by countries before United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Which will be theIndia submitted its 38 page INDC just before the deadline of submission in final hours. It was asked by UNFCCC to submit individual goal from every country. Including India, 120 countries have now submitted their INDCs.
What it has to do with Paris Conference?
The Paris conference will begin on November 30 and run till December 11. The INDCs are expected to become a part of the Paris agreement and countries will become accountable to what they have promised in their INDCs.What are INDC targets of other countries?
United States
Reduce emissions by 26 to 28 per cent below 2005 levels in 2025; make best efforts to reach upper levelChina (all targets for 2030)
1. Achieve peaking of carbon dioxide emissions around 2030 and make best efforts to peak early2. Lower carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 60 to 65 per cent from the 2005 level
3. To increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 20 per cent
4. To increase the forest stock volume by around 4.5 billion cubic meters on the 2005 level.
European Union
At least 40% domestic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990India
1. Reduce emissions intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 percent by 2030 from 2005 level.2. Achieve about 40 percent electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel based energy resources by 2030 with help of transfer of technology and low cost international finance
3. Create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.
