Study to Develop

In the Paris Conference of Parties (COP) as a part of its Nationally d=Determined Contributions (NDCs) India has committed to reduce emissions intensity by 33-35% by 2030 compared to 2005, have 40% of power generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources and increased forest cover to increase carbon sequestration by 3 mt of CO2 eq. The study assessed current policies for each the sector which may reduce emissions intensity and calculated the additional change in the policies if any and factors to achieve NDC Goal 3 of emissions intensity reduction at the national level. In the process, the study intends to calculate the financial cost for implementing current policies and also for the incremental effort to implement NDC Goal 3.
