India pursuing bilateral steps for renewable energy targets: UN chief
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Monday said India is pursuing bilateral arrangements to achieve Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “ambitious targets” for renewable energy expansion by 2030, as he hoped this would soon translate into a new, strengthened national climate plan.
In his live video message at the Economist Sustainability Summit ‘Keeping 1.5 Alive – Delivering on the Fate of our Planet’, Guterres said: “India is pursuing bilateral measures to achieve Prime Minister Modi’s ambitious targets for renewable energy expansion by 2030, which we hope to soon see reflected in a new and strengthened national climate plan.”
Under the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate, countries agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels
