India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC)
Why it Matters?
India is set to submit its updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0) around the beginning of the UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC CoP-30) in Brazil on November 10, 2025.
This will outline India's climate targets for 2035.
What you should know?
NDCs are climate action plans submitted by countries under the Paris Agreement.
They outline each country's targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change.
India's Updated NDC (2022):
India's current commitments were updated in 2022.
They aim to be achieved by 2030 and include three main targets:
To reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% from 2005 levels.
To source about 50% of its cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources.
To create an additional carbon sink of at least two billion tonnes through afforestation.
