India Aims to Achieve Carbon-Neutrality by 2070, Announces PM Modi
Nov. 4, 2021Now, for those unaware, a country becomes carbon-neutral or achieves the “net-zero carbon emissions” label by not contributing to the existing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. So, this requires the use of more natural resources like solar, water, and wind power, and non-gasoline vehicles.
So, the announcement comes somewhat as a surprise, given that India has beeninvesting so muchin renewable energy for the past few years. Moreover, India’s refusal to set a deadline to achieve net-zero emissions has garnered pressure from International authorities, given that India is one of the top contributors of greenhouse gases after China, the US, and the EU.
During his speech, Prime Minister Modi also announced that India will increase its share of renewable energy sources to over 50% in the next 10 years. Furthermore, the Indian leader requested a $1 trillion fund to tackle climate change in India.
