Opinion: To achieve its ‘net zero’ goal, India must protect its forests #IndiaNEWS
In August, India announced two enhanced climate pledges within an updated Nationally Determined Contribution – the commitments each country submits under the Paris Climate Agreement. In its new Nationally Determined Contribution, India pledged to reduce the emissions intensity of its gross domestic product by 45% by 2030, and to get 50% of its electricity from non-fossil fuel-based sources by 2030. In its first Nationally Determined Contribution, in 2015, these figures were 33%-35% and 40% respectively. These updated targets came months after the 2021 Glasgow climate summit, COP26, at which Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that India would reach net-zero emissions by 2070.But the 2022 update said nothing new about the third goal set in the 2015 document: “to create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 billion to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.???
