The Intricacies of India’s Net-Zero Dream, Between Diplomacy and Reality 05/04/2021 Photo: Pradeep Gildiyal/Unsplash The diplomatic pressure on India to set a cut-off date to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has intensified, after US President Joe Biden invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a virtual “Leaders Summit on Climate”. The invitation has triggered a public debate in India, with one politician from the ruling party criticising the country’s official position that no target will be announced at present. China, the US and the EU (which counts its emissions as a bloc) – the world’s top three GHG polluters – are among 58 that have declared a year by which they will no longer add to heat-trapping emissions. India is fourth on the list of polluters.
