Overview
- India, which filed the 2031–35 pledge on Friday, submitted the plan to the UN climate body that records national climate commitments.
- It aims to cut the emissions intensity of GDP at least 47% from 2005 levels by 2035.
- It sets a goal for about 60% of installed power capacity to come from non‑fossil sources by 2035, contingent on low‑cost international finance and technology transfer.
- India also targets an extra 3.5 to 4.0 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent stored in forests and trees by 2035, and it rejects fixed sector quotas in favor of an economy‑wide intensity approach.
- The submission frames a shortfall by developed countries as a mitigation gap, cites UN estimates of $5.0 to $6.9 trillion in developing‑country needs by 2030, and says India may adjust targets to match the support available.
