POLicies focus on esg
Continuous Increase of renewable capacity addition.
Policies for reduction of hydrogen costs for implement of carbon pricing and monitoring
Policies for drive down of battery and green hydrogen costs , inclusive of Nationwide drive for EV charging infrastructure rollout.
Educating and adoption of sustainable practices in agriculture.
Decarbonisation an essential factor for achieving UNFCCC using the quantitative tools of (a) National Distribution Contributions ( NDCs ) & (b) Global stairway ( GST)
carbon emission
India having low per-capita emissions (1.8 tons CO₂), but inspite this India is the third-largest emitter globally, releasing a net 2.9 Gigatons of carbon-dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e) annually as of 2019.
green house gas
carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor
scientists warns If carbon dioxide were removed, the terrestrial greenhouse effect would collapse, and Earth’s surface temperature would drop significantly, by approximately 33°C (59°F).
measures
India’s ambitious decarbonisation journey holds immense potential, creating 287 gigatons of carbon space for the world—almost half of the global carbon budget for limiting warming to 1.5°C
Industry specific focus
Inside India bulk of these emissions (about 70 percent) are driven by six sectors: power, steel, automotive, aviation, cement, and agriculture
line of sight ( LOS )
In the current LOS scenario, India could reduce annual emissions from a historical trajectory of 11.8 GtCO₂e to 1.9 GtCO₂e by 2070, achieving a 90 percent reduction in economic emissions intensity compared to 2019.
sustainable farming
Sustainable-farming practices could help generate additional farmer income of INR 3,400 per hectare/year in the LoS scenario, which could increase to INR 4,800 per hectare/year in the accelerated scenario. In this process India may save a cumulative $1.7 trillion in the foreign exchange,

Environmental governance for Redesigns, Remodels, & Improvements
However, in the last century, human activities, primarily from burning fossil fuels that have led to the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, have disrupted Earth’s energy balance. This has led to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and ocean. The level of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been rising consistently for decades and traps extra heat near Earth’s surface, causing temperatures to rise.
green buildings
infrastructure aided with carbon sink
balanced greenhouses gases for sustainable climate management
More commitment to environment with prime focus on carbon emission and carbon sink therefore to ensure proper level management on green house gases over wide variety of projects
Design
evaluate Carbon Capture Usage and Storage ( CCUS) hubs across Indian States where key emitters production at large potentially in public–private partnership for utilisation for the storage of captured carbon.
Plan
Create a national circularity mission with recycling hubs in the top 20 Indian cities that contributing 35 percent of municipal solid waste
Renew
Mandate targets on recycling rates, recycled raw-material use (for example, blending norms), and landfill levies.
