India only G20 nation doing its ‘fair share’ to meet 2 degree goal, says report

Although India is fulfilling its climate goals, its efforts still fall short of the Paris Agreement’s long-term goal of limiting global warming by 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to the 2020 Climate Transparency report.

India is the only country on track among the G20 nations to meet its climate change mitigation commitments, according to the 2020 Climate Transparency report published on Wednesday.

Climate Transparency, an international partnership of 14 research and non-governmental organizations, examined efforts to combat climate change among the G20 nations — examining their climate goals and actions taken.

The report found that India’s “fair share” climate targets that it set under the 2015 Paris Agreement as well as the actions it’s taken in the years since make it “compatible” with the upper goal of curbing global warming by 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.
