India's Commitment

India submitted its 4th Biennial Update Report (BUR-4) to the UNFCCC on 30th December 2024. The report shows a 7.93% reduction in total GHG emissions in 2020 with respect to2019.

Excluding Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF), India’s emissions were 2,959 million tonnes of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent, way to measure the impact of GHG). Including LULUCF, net emissions were 2,437 million tonnes of CO2e.

The energy sector was the largest contributor accounting for 75.66% of emissions,along with other land use, sequestered approximately 522 million tonnes of CO2, equivalent to reducing 22%of the country’s total emissions.

These efforts reflect India's commitment to combating climate change while addressing its national circumstances, based on equity and the principles of the Paris Agreement (PIB)
