He said that India will become a net zero emitter by 2070
The prime minister also laid out four other measure that India will take
which are in addition to the Paris commitments
Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, India had volunteered to

We need take action right now
Carbon sequestration need of hour
Amazing!🤞
How?
2070 ?
Half india will be destroyed by then
Good luck….
Net zero by 2070, might be too late.. tipping points are being crossed every week.. 😮
What a joke. Then why are 30 coal mines being digged up currently. At one side he is telling india will not be dependent on Fossil fuels by 2030 and on the other these new coal mines have running capacity for 20 + years
Wow! 2070
i shudder to even imagine what would RaGa be saying at this forum had he got elected ! Scared to even think.
I read ndtv earlier ..there they mentioned dat carbon intensity to be reduced by by india is 50(contrary to 45pc) percent…🙄
Well good in talks but how is the question and have they achieved any previous targets?
Currently our energy consumption is around 1100-1200 GW.
By 2030 our non fossil to be around 500GW.
Also by 2030, half our energy requirements are to be met by Non fossils(renewables)
How does that add up? Are we heading towards decreasing our energy consumption? Or are we betting that somehow, our energy efficiency, is going to help us achieve this stated objective?
Please enlighten.
He can achieve it , like GDP , employment …..he can bring down anything
My heart says those are false promises. Indians are yet to see policies and programmes to comply with his statements and there has been failure in strategic implementation of many environmental related Acts. We need to up our games from "words" to "actions".
I am Indian and believe that we can do This. Climate change is being very dangerous month after month. I request the whole world people please be activa for this.
👏👏👏
Logical considering the energy demand of India from Coal source
#Climatejustice
Ye to gazab hi ho gya.. v r reading editorials everyday that why India should not set its net zero.. 😂 n here
Net zero emmision till 2070
500 GW from non fossil fuels till 2030
50 percentage energy requirement from renewable energy
1 billion dollar carbon value deduction in carbon emission till 2030
40 percentage carbon economy deduction in the total Indian economy
2070! Anyway better than nothing.
short and precise. Thank you
This hitler is a liar… He has destroyed indian economy.. He is worst pm ever… Someone kindly throw him out of this conference too
Jumla's go International !
Yeah while the WHOLE AMAZON FOREST IS BURNING CUTTING DOWN EMISSIONS FROM CARS AND FACTORIES is not going to CHANGE ANYTHING. Better first STOP BURNING FOREST in amazon.
Why is INDIAN presidient talking infront of the BRITISH FLAG? Are we under british influence again. Oh wait.!
This won't change climate change. See how many Acres of AMAZON RAINFOREST is being burnt every day. Even if all countires go zet zero now there will still be climate change due to production related Carbon emissions which we cannot reduce. Like how much carbon is emitted when producing solar panels and transporting them. How much carbon when creating Electric cars? HUMAN GREED is destroying the world. Why would Americans eat so much COW meat? and lead to destroy of amazon rainforest. No one talks about this.
the dedicated freight corridor railway will reduce shipping emissions from all of asia
I though 2070 was way too late then I came to know that USA's target is 2050 and China's is 2060! It makes India's target much more understandable
Does he really understands what he says …Lol
