NET ZERO EMISSIONS

commitments @ cop 2b ; Indian commitment - achieve by 2070NET ZERO : refers to a balance where emissions of GHG are offset bythe absorption of an equivalent amount from the atmosphere .

ISSUES INDIA'S NEW TARGETS

1) Climate justice PANCHAMRIT - b- Fold strategy↳ issues of equity , CBDR↳ developed us developing D Non fossil fuel energy capacity↳ rich Vls poor 500GW by 2035

2) Climate colonialism 2) renewable energy - meet 50%↳'

rich countries policies are colonialism requirements by 2030in green

'

3) carbon emissions - reduce by 1 billion

3) carbon colonialism tonnes now onwards till 2030

↳ rush to make profits out of carbon 4) carbon intensity - reduce it by

fixing 45% by 2030

4) Climate Finance 57 Net Zero - by 2070

↳ rich countries not met the pastcommitments and nor pledges future CHALLENGES

5) climate targets D Funding - India need $10 trillion↳ NDC is voluntary to meet its net zero target↳ long term V11 short term targets - NDC is

'conditional'

6) Coal 2) Fossil Fuel↳ Phase out its phase down - dependence on coal 9 oil

↳ Double stand by rich countries 3) Renewable energy7) climate denialism

- scaling up generation- Technology dependence

INDIAN CASE - raw material dependence→ 3rd largest emitter 47 Clean energy→ high population - needs - need to be in NSG

→ focus on growth 9 development 5) Economy

→ vulnerable to climate - agriculture dependence↳ extreme weather events - legs) - animal rearing

→lack of resources 9 technologies - Manufacturing focus
