India's total emissions increased by 4.56% in 2019 compared to 2016 levels, and have nearly doubled since 2000, according to a report submitted to the UNFCCC. The energy sector contributed the most to emissions (75.81%), followed by agriculture (13.44%), industrial processes (8.41%), and waste (2.34%). However, India has successfully decoupled economic growth from emissions, with a 33% reduction in emissions intensity of its GDP between 2005 and 2019. India has also achieved its target of reducing emission intensity by 33-35% by 2030, 11 years in advance. | Latest News India
