0n the eve of 'Five years of Paris Agreement', India is the only G20 country to meet 2°C target
India is on track to comfortably beat 2 of its 3 major Paris Agreement targets — to reduce emissions intensity by 33-35% of its 2005-level & to will achieve 40% of installed power capacity from non-fossil fuels by the year 2030. The third goal of creating a carbon sink of 2.5-3billion tons of CO² equivalent additional forest & tree cover by 2030, requires more work.  *This image is copyright of its original author Presently emitting 6.8% of world's CO², India has already achieved 21% against its target of reducing emissions intensity of GDP by 33-35 per cent by 2030. Realistically by 2030, India’s emissions intensity is projected to be much lower — in the range of 35% to 50%. India is halfway toward meeting its domestic goal, of 175 GW renewables by 2022 goal & expanded its goal to reaching 450-500GW by 2030.  *This image is copyright of its original author With solar & wind reaching 88 GW—23.5% of India’s 362GW total installed capacity, factoring in large hydro & nuclear, India’s non-fossil power currently tallies 38% of the country’s total installed capacity.
