HAVE RESPONDED TO CALLS TO RAISE CLIMATE GOALS FOR 2030: INDIA AT COP

SHARM EL SHEIKH: India is making strong efforts to fight the climate crisis despite accounting for less than 4% of the greenhouse gases emitted in the world so far, Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav said on Tuesday, citing the country’s recent submissions – once in August and another this week – of commitments that it will undertake to reduce emissions.

Among these is the long-term low emissions growth strategy (LT-LEDS), which India unveiled at the ongoing COP27 in Egypt. Only 56 other countries have submitted their LTS so far.
