India's emission targets most ambitious among G20 nations



None of the G20 nations determined emission contributions for 2030 are in line with the Paris agreement. India's emission targets are the most ambitious and close to 1.5 degree Celsius. 82 percent of energy supply in the world's 20 biggest economies still comes from fossil fuels. According to G 20 brown to green report 2018 says that 20 nations need to roughly halve their emissions by 2030 to meet the Paris goals. India is doing quite good but not up to the goals set by the Paris agreement. The report says that India's greenhouse gas emissions more than doubled between 1990 and 2015 but on a per capita level, India's GHG will come only below the G20 average. Carbon dioxide emissions contribute the most to overall GHG emissions in India. These emissions have tripled more than since 1990. The report says India still doesn't have a 2050 emission target when its floor area is expected to increase by 400% by 2050 and energy demand from buildings by 800 percent.
