Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a target of generating 450 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030.
In the upcoming 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 26), India is likely to pitch high on lessening carbon emissions, said the Union Ministry of Environment sources on Friday.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) in recent time held several bilateral meetings with other countries.
"India historically stands at 4.5 per cent total emissions and to make it actually work, developed countries should do it before 2050. There should be a compensation mechanism and the expenditure should be brought by the developed nations," Ministry sources told ANI.
When it comes to carbon emission, China emits 8.4 tons per person whereas the US emits 18.6 tons per person. The European Union emits 7.16 tons.
