India’s 4th Biennial Update Report (BUR-4) highlighted a 7.93% reduction in GHG emissions in 2020 compared to 2019.
✅India submits Biennial Update Reports (BURs) to the UNFCCC every two years to track progress.
✅These reports update the national GHG inventories, detail mitigation actions, and highlight the support received, including efforts to reduce emissions.
✅India’s historical share of cumulative global GHG emissions is 4% annually, despite having around 17% of the world’s population between 1850 and 2019.
✅India’s annual primary energy consumption per capita in 2019 was 28.7 gigajoules (GJ), considerably lower than both developed and developing countries.
✅India’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDCs) Goals
India seeks to achieve following targets by 2030:
✅Emission Reduction: India aims to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030, compared to 2005 levels.
✅Renewable Energy: The country seeks to achieve 50% of its energy needs from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030, with a target of installing 500 GW of renewable energy capacity.
✅Carbon Sink: India plans to create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through afforestation and reforestation efforts.
✅India pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070 at the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP 26) in 2021.
