India Aims to Cut Emissions Intensity by 47% by 2035 From 2005 Levels

India’s cabinet approved a new climate pledge to cut emissions intensity by 47 percent by 2035, relative to 2005 levels. The target builds on a 36 percent reduction achieved between 2005 and 2020 and is paired with a plan to raise clean‑power capacity to 60 percent of total generation within a decade. While emissions intensity will improve, absolute greenhouse‑gas emissions are still rising as the economy expands. The move positions India to meet its Paris Agreement obligations amid growing global pressure.
