| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The article is focused on the decisions and discussions made at COP27 which was held at Egypt from November 06 to November 18, 2022 in an uncertain geopolitical, energy and economic context. Its outcomes were highly anticipated and results were encouraging in some ways and very discouraging in others. This meeting will always be hailed for unexpected placement of ‘loss and damage’ finance on the agenda and the ambitious goal of reaching the decision on this controversial topic. The article discusses how it also adds in parts to the existing burden of the developing countries. The major flaw with the meeting remains its inability of stronger mention of 1.5-degree Celsius target. Shri Narendra Modi, announced India’s aim of achieving net zero emissions by 2070 at Glasgow. Within one year, India has submitted its Long-Term Low Emissions Growth Strategy indicating low carbon transition pathways in key economic sectors.Responding to the call for increased ambition in our 2030 climate targets, India updated its Nationally Determined Contributions in August 2022. |
