Given there's been no major new #climatepolicy#climateactiontracker overall rating of India’s climate targets and action remains “Highly insufficient”.
Non-fossil energy sources account for 46% of India's total installed capacity, indicating the country well on track to achieve its conditional NDC target of 50% non-fossil capacity ahead of schedule. This progress suggests India could set a more ambitious NDC target with international support.

Explore future impacts from climate change as the world warms.
If global emissions align with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C limit, New Yorkers will see much more stable temperatures over the coming decades, with a slight peak around 2050 – benefiting those most impacted by heat stress, including outdoor workers, older people and children.
While China has achieved world-beating growth in renewables, emissions will only come down if it also stops backing fossil power. Coal needs to be phased out by 2040. Rapid wind and solar growth means China’s massive coal pipeline represents a needless economic and climate risk.
Boosting wind power this decade would help put China on track for 1.5°C and make a sizeable dent in global emissions.
This would see 1600 GW of wind and 2900 GW of solar capacity installed by 2030 (a total of 4500 GW). To align its updated NDC with the 1.5°C limit, China would need to install 2000 GW of wind and 4700 GW of solar capacity by 2035.
Combined, wind and solar generation needs to increase about six times by 2030 compared to 2022 levels (to around 7200 TWh) to outstrip demand growth and force out fossil power.
The US wind and solar rollout is lagging behind – it will only reach 60% of the 1.5ºC compatible benchmarks under current policies. But the Inflation Reduction Act is beginning to bite and could help accelerate wind and solar deployment to align with 1.5ºC
