INDIA PUBLISHES LONG-TERM NET ZERO STRATEGY AT COP27

SHARM EL-SHEIKH: India laid out on Monday the steps it will take to achieve net zero by 2070, releasing its Long-Term Low Emissions and Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) at the COP27 summit in Egypt.

Under the Paris Agreement, which holds the world to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures, all countries are required to submit reports showing how they’ll get there. So far, just 56 countries have submitted LT-LEDS to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, including China, the United States, and Japan. REUTERS
