The India Today Roundtable discussed India’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and meet its commitments to cut carbon emissions by 2030. They highlighted that while India’s per capita emissions are low, the country is the third largest emitter of carbon dioxide after China and the US. India has made several major commitments to address this issue, including increasing renewable energy generation to 50% of installed capacity by 2030 and reducing carbon emissions intensity. The panelists emphasized the need for implementation of these targets, as well as the challenges in scaling up renewable energy and improving distribution networks. They also discussed the importance of adaptation and resilience efforts, particularly in vulnerable areas such as agriculture. The panelists called for stronger mandates for renewable energy adoption and the use of green hydrogen, as well as increased investment in green sectors and collaboration between industry, government, and stakeholders. Overall, they stressed the need for global action and greater accountability on climate issues.
