| Summary / Abstract (Note) | India and China were targeted by Western nations for their opposition to a
promise to “phase out” coal when negotiating the final agreement in Glasgow. Instead, the two decided to “phase down” coal, causing dismay and alarm about the world’s ability to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Prime Minister Narendra Modi committed, among other things, to achieve net-zeroe missions by 2070, to reduce carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030, and to increase the number of renewable resources in the energy mix to 50%. |
