Modi also stressed that the previous commitment to climate financing was "empty" and asked developed countries to provide $1 trillion in climate financing to developing countries "as soon as possible today" p> According to the guardian on November 1, the Indian Prime Minister said at the cop26 global climate summit that India would achieve the goal of zero net emissions by 2070. Net zero emission refers to the balance between all greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide, and anthropogenic absorption p> < p > it is reported that in his speech at the UN summit held in Glasgow, modi also made five key commitments on how to decarbonize India in the coming decades: 50% of India's electricity will come from renewable energy by 2030; Increase India's non fossil energy capacity (mainly solar energy) to 500gw by 2030; By 2030, 50% of energy demand will come from renewable energy; And reduce the expected carbon emissions by 1 billion tons from now to 2030; Reduce carbon emission intensity in the economy by 45% by 2030 p> < p > although modi's commitment looks "ambitious", can India do it? The BBC's report on November 1 directly questioned: can India achieve its goals p> < p > it is reported that the goal of "reducing carbon emission intensity in Indian economy by 45% by 2030" mentioned by modi is more ambitious than the previous goal of "reducing carbon emission intensity by 33% to 35% from 2005 level by 2030", but the reduction of carbon intensity does not necessarily mean the reduction of overall emissions. Because India's relatively fast-growing economy in recent years is driven by its dependence on fossil fuels, which account for most of the country's greenhouse gas emissions p> < p > BBC screenshot < / P > < p > in recent years, India has made many commitments on carbon emissions, but the progress is not as expected p> < p > in 2015, India promised to increase its power generation from wind, solar and other renewable energy sources (such as small hydropower plants) fivefold to 175gw by 2022. But until September this year, its renewable energy has only reached more than 100gw p> < p > also in 2015, India promised that 40% of its electricity will come from non fossil fuel sources by 2030, compared with only 23% in 2019, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) p> < p > India also planned to plant enough trees by 2030 to absorb an additional 2.5-3 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Global forest watch (GFW) data show that India lost 18% of its virgin forest and 5% of its tree cover between 2001 and 2020 p> < p > in addition to the difficulty in fulfilling "commitments", India's climate problem has become very serious. According to the guardian, India has suffered the serious consequences of climate collapse: in recent years, millions of people in India are facing severe extreme weather disasters such as high temperature, water shortage, flood and coastal erosion p> < p > the report points out that unlike western countries, India is still decades away from the peak in terms of economic growth and energy consumption. It is expected that India's energy demand will grow faster than any other country in the next few years p> < p > at present, 70% of India's electricity comes from coal. Although India is one of the cheapest solar energy producers in the world, there is no technology to integrate it into the power grid on a large scale. Experts said that progress in hydrogen technology and storage is also needed to help India's industrial sector get rid of coal, which will not be possible until around 2040 p> < p > on November 1, British Prime Minister Johnson (left), Indian Prime Minister modi (Center) and UN Secretary General Guterres (right).
