  • India has pledged to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 33% to 35% under Paris Agreement. Currently, the carbon dioxide emissions of India is 60% below the global average and is on par with emissions in the European Union, which is 2.35 gigatonnes.

Key Findings of the Report: World

  • The carbon dioxide emissions all over the world is to increase by 1.5 billion tonnes in 2021.

  • The renewables are set to provide 30% of electricity.
  • The electricity generation from wind is set to grow by 275 tetra watts. This is 17% increase.
  • The solar PV is to increase by 145 tetra watt which is 18% increase as compared to 2020.
