At the ongoing climate summit, COP27, being held in Egypt’s Sharm El Sheikh, countries have come together to discuss how to battle climate change and the perils surrounding it.
In this fight, India on Monday, submitted its plan — the Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS) — on reducing its carbon emissions, achieving its net zero goals and becoming a greener country in the future.
Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav speaking at the COP27 event, said, “This is an important milestone. Once again India has demonstrated that it walks the talk on climate change.”
India announced that the government’s focus will be on the rational utilisation of national resources with due regard to energy security and the transition from fossil fuels will be undertaken in a just, smooth, sustainable, and all-inclusive manner.
We take an incisive look at India’s plan on going green and how it will reduce carbon emissions — to help slow global warming — and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Increase electric vehicle penetration
India has announced that it will attempt to reduce its use of fossil fuels and shift to less polluting modes of transport.
To achieve this aim, the country has said that it will introduce and implement programmes and policies to boost domestic manufacturing of electric vehicles.
In the over 100-page long document submitted, India has said that it will move towards faster adoption and manufacturing of hybrid and electric vehicles.
It will also explore the implementation of vehicle-grid integration options, to enable planning of increased load on the electricity grid.
