This is a value addition, target-setting norms immediately recognised as ‘committed’ analytical to your previous opinion piece - ‘India should set itself a 2060 Net Zero target’.
Glad to share my understanding by combining both your opinions, independently for India and world leaders responsible for the climate change movement for life on the planet.
As long as emissions are not cut drastically, by India and the rich world, air pollution caused by fossil fuels is not taken care of with on-ground executable plans for decarbonisation, a huge responsibility for the rich and developing world, the real challenge to live in a less destructive environmentally hazardous world, especially when a hugely populated country like India lost X percentage of population to flooding, droughts, forced migration, loss of homes, deaths due to infectious diseases and pandemic, and people died in poorer nations due to starvation and diseases other than such catastrophic events.
As enunciated by you, in affirmative tone and pitch, the current pledges made by India for India and asking for commitments as proposed to the rich world’s far-away net-zero targets seems to look like fulfilling the very historic opportunity aim to ensure the safety and better health of current and future generations.
If climate change helps politics and corporations to add business markets locally and globally, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5C, following an extensive post-pandemic emission audits and stricter implementation of a clearly-defined pathway (goals with a vision), chances of survival of people would improve. Mainly, it would help prevent the worst impacts witnessed by living species including humans in the last few decades, and demonstrate concrete sustainability commitments to increasingly-conscious consumers.
At this time, the Govt. of India and the State Governments must boost investor confidence, spur innovation and competitiveness especially among SMEs. Large corporations like Adani, NTPC, Ambani and Tata Power etc anyways hold responsibility with great accountability.
As of now, I see only big companies who have grabbed the market share in solar asset portfolios, wind power projects, green hydrogen projects, and other renewable energy projects like green data centres etc. Would this help the rest of the businesses? In this context, I add, when the Govt. of India is confronted with sharp questions related to investment plans, implementation and outcomes’, they resort to obfuscation. If my view is proved wrong within the next two to three years then your analysis may work as disruption to society in this aspect of growth and development.
Again, a very clear, detailed as necessary, hopeful and ambitious analysis for immediate, short-term & long-term improvement of the environment having urgent relevance to climate science, environment development and sustainability for all countries of the world. Thank you.
