Energy Transition Is the Way Towards Reducing Emissions, but Is It India’s Responsibility?


It was only in 1972 that the world started taking the environment and the effects we were having on it seriously with the United Nations Scientific Conference on the Human Environment, more popularly known as the Stockholm Conference. In 1987, climate change and its potentially devastating consequences first made it to the global agenda. With the goal of stabilizing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere ‘at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic (human induced) interference with the climate system’, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was introduced in 1992 and as of today has been ratified by 197 countries. In the time since, there have been many conferences held and agreements and protocols that have been proposed and signed. Key amongst these are the Kyoto Protocol , Paris Agreement and the annual Conference of Parties (COP) that was started to monitor and review the implementations of UNFCCC a and where countries meet annually to discuss goals and objectives related to climate change.
