Abstract
(2) Environmental reasons: India is a signatory to Paris climate treaty, which envisages that India is to reduce its GHG emissions intensity by 33.3% below 2005 levels by 2030. Present carbon dioxide emissions are annually 2066 million tons (2015 figures). Global net emissions caused by humans of carbon dioxide need to fall by about 45% from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching to net zero by 2050. It is necessary to keep average Global temperature at 1.5 degrees centigrade below preindustrial levels instead of anticipated two-degree centigrade increase which will happen if no steps are taken today to mitigate, which would otherwise cause rising sea levels, extremes of weather. loss of biodiversity. food scarcity and will have impact on water supply. Human induced activities have increased average Global temperature by one degree centigrade above pre-industrial levels by 2017 already & this is increasing at the rate of 0.1 degrees centigrade every decade. Controlling Global temperature below 2 degrees centigrade would require $480 billion in Clean Energy and Energy efficiency methods. Article Publication
