Green House Gas Emissions In India – Statistics, Facts And Control Strategies

Abstract

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gases in the Earth’s atmosphere that trap heat, contributing to the greenhouse effect, which is essential for keeping the planet warm enough to support life. However, human activities have significantly increased the concentration of these gases, leading to global warming and climate change. India is the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs) globally, contributing about 7% of the world's total emissions, primarily due to its reliance on fossil fuels for energy and its large agricultural sector.

 However, the country has been proactive in implementing policies and making international commitments to mitigate its emissions while balancing development needs. While challenges like coal dependency and financial constraints remain, India’s proactive strategies and growing investments in green technologies reflect its commitment to tackling climate change.
