Glasgow: With all of the net zero declarations and commitments taken so far, it is not achieving the global warming limit target Paris AgreementIndia, the largest emitter in history, has called for going climate neutral by 2030 instead of continuing to do so after 20 years.
“They (the developed countries) should all be ‘net-zero’ by 2030 as a matter of urgency given what has happened recently.” IPCC Report carefully, Indian Environment Minister Bubandar Yadav He said while answering the question in United Nations Environment ProgramThe analysis finds that all the commitments / declarations taken together will not allow the world to achieve the Paris Agreement goal of maintaining a 2 ° C warming limit from pre-industrial levels (1850-1900) by the end of this century.

Both the United Nations Environment Program and Climate protection tracker In their analysis, they found that all commitments and declarations were in fact well below the emission reduction promises required to keep global warming at the target of 1.5 ° C over the course of this century. The world has seen global warming 1.1 ° C above pre-industrial levels. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently warned that global warming will reach 1.5 ° C in a business-as-usual scenario over the next two decades, with catastrophic consequences for climate change.

Yadav, who was India’s chief negotiator at COP26 during the high-level segment, said India is well on track to meet all of its Nationally Set Contributions (NDCs) pledged by 2015 and the country will definitely stick to its goals. through the announcement made by Prime Minister Narendra Moody last week.

Regarding funding, which India and other developing countries have made a top priority at COP26, Yadav said, “Climate finance should be available to developing countries. This is not charity. This is their (rich land ‘). historical responsibility. They promised that. ”
In response to COP26 President Alok Sharma’s response to last week’s TOI question that the fund disposition plan already includes a mechanism to monitor progress as requested by India and the OECD is doing it in its current operations, Yadav (Organization for economic cooperation and development) has its own mechanism. “We want such a monitoring mechanism from COP 26,” said the finance minister.
As for what India has done so far, the minister said it had done it with its own financial resources. India has more than 7,000 kilometers of coastline. The country is also affected by climate change. That is why we will continue to need funds for our business in the future. Because whatever India says applies to all developing countries. India was the voice of the developing countries here. ”
