Winter is Coming: Delhi’s air quality dips to ‘Poor’ as AQI rises to 266
In its World Energy Outlook-2023 published on Tuesday, the agency said India’s industry will spew 30% less CO2 (carbon dioxide) and each km driven on Indian roads by a passenger car will emit 25% less CO2 – the main contributor to global warming – by 2030 than it does today.The projections can be seen as acknowledgement of current government policies leading to millions coming out of poverty and an improved quality of life for an aspirational population.
The projections also underline the success of the multi-pronged policy approach towards meeting India’s climate commitments without sacrificing growth through increased efficiency and injecting new technologies.
