At the 27th UN Conference of Parties (COP27) in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh, India submits this to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The 195 member countries of the UNFCCC were obliged to submit this document by 2022.
India’s LT-LEDS was launched to transition to a “low emissions” pathway.
The LT-LEDS has been prepared in the framework of India’s right to an equitable and fair share of the global carbon budget.
It is premised on expanding its nuclear power capacity by at least three-fold in the next decade.
It further focuses on the increased use of biofuels, especially ethanol blending in petrol.
It also envisages maximising the use of green hydrogen fuel to drive the low carbon development of the transport sector.
