Paris Climate Agreement India

Breaching the Paris Agreement's temperature goal of two degrees Celsius could significantly melt the Filchner Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica, the second largest ice sheet on Earth, and could substantially contribute to raising global sea levels.

While progress has been made in combating climate change, the world is far from being on track to meet the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement, says a technical report on the first-ever Global Stocktake (GST) published on Friday.

Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, COP28 UAE President-Designate, on Wednesday emphasised the need to mobilise resources and partnerships towards bold and transformative approach to climate action.

As India assumes the presidency of the G20, the world counts on it to mobilise credible actions to deliver on the 2030 Development Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Saturday.

A new study suggests that even if we achieve the goal set up by the Paris Agreement, tropics and subtropics regions will experience dangerously sweltering temperatures during most days of the year by 2100. The countries in these regions include India, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula.

Climate change may increase the mortality rate six times by the end of the century, suggested a new Lancet study. The possible reason for this change can be the excessive heat. The warming from climate change is said to have a troubling impact, even under restrictions from the Paris Climate Agreement that aims to limit global warming.

Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran has said that developed countries need to convince their public about adopting climate change policies

India on Tuesday underlined that efforts to drive low carbon development pathways in the industry sector are critical for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.

As part of its pledge under the 2015 Paris climate agreement India, the world's third-biggest carbon emitter after China and the United States, is supposed to reduce its carbon footprint by 33-35% from 2005 levels by 2030.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman met UN Climate Change Conference President Alok Sharma and discussed various issues related to climate change.

India and France have always been the spearheads in climate action since the Paris Agreement and can assume a leadership role in the run-up to COP26 at Glasgow in November, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Wednesday.

India has apprised US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry of its wide-ranging efforts to meet the commitments under the Paris climate agreement and to reduce emissions, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Thursday.

Sixty-four countries reduced their fossil carbon-dioxide emissions during the period between 2016 and 2019, but the rate of global reduction needs to increase tenfold to meet the Paris Agreement goals to fight climate change, according to a study.

Carbon emission cuts need to be about 80 per cent more ambitious to stay below 2 degree Celsius global warming -- considered a threshold for climate stability and climate-related risks such as excessive heat, drought, extreme weather and sea level rise -- a new study says.

India is not only on track to achieve its Paris Agreement targets, but to exceed them beyond expectations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said during the Climate Ambition Summit 2020 on Saturday, highlighting that the country has reduced its emission intensity by 21 per cent over 2005 levels.
