जलवायु संबंधी अपने लक्ष्यों को पूरा करने में भारत की प्रगति
जलवायु परिवर्तन पर पेरिस समझौते के तहत भारत का लक्ष्य ग्रीनहाउस गैस उत्सर्जन की तीव्रता को वर्ष 2005 के स्तर से वर्ष 2030 तक 33-35% तक कम करना है। मनीषा जैन ने ‘आइडियाज फॉर इंडिया’ में प्रकाशित अपने पिछले लेख में दर्शाया था कि लक्ष्य की ओर अनुमानित प्रगति बाहरी और देश के डेटा स्रोतों में भिन्न होती है। इस लेख में,आगे के विश्लेषण के आधार पर वे तर्क देती हैं कि भारत के जलवायु लक्ष्यों को बढ़ाने के दायरे और इसकी शमन रणनीतियों की प्रभावशीलता से संबंधित सवालों का हल विभिन्न डेटासेट में अलग-अलग मिलता है।
Carbon dioxide emissions from India’s industries: Data sources and discrepancies
Industries are one of the most significant contributors to energy-related carbon-dioxide (energy-CO2) emissions in India – the share of industries in the total emissions was 25%, second only to power generation. In this post, Manisha Jain examines the trends, and differences in the two data sources on manufacturing emissions in India – International Energy Agency estimates, and country-level data reported by the central government to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
India’s progress in meeting its climate goals
India’s target under the Paris Agreement on climate change, is to reduce greenhouse gas emission intensity by 33-35% by 2030, from the 2005 level. In a previous I4I post, Manisha Jain showed that the estimated progress towards the target varies across external and country data sources. Based on further analysis, in this post, she argues that the different datasets give different answers to questions about the scope of raising India’s climate targets, and the effectiveness of its mitigation strategies.
Tracking India’s greenhouse gas emission intensity target
One of the targets in India’s ‘Nationally Determined Contributions’ under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, is to reduce the greenhouse gas emission intensity of GDP by 33-35% by 2030, from 2005 level. In this post, Manisha Jain examines the differences in data on India’s emission intensity between country reports and third-party sources, and suggests ways to improve official reporting.
