1. Introduction
“Climate change is the average weather conditions like seasonal variations and extremes of weather
in
a region-at least 30 years of an area”.

The Paris Agreement That Was Adopted On 13Th December 2015.

The negotiators of the Agreement however stated that the NDCs and the 2 °C depletion goal were
inadequate, instead, a 1.5 °C Goal is required, noting "with concern that the estimated aggregate greenhouse
gas emission levels in 2025 and 2030 resulting from the Calculated governmentally decided eneficiations do
not fall within least-cost  C scenarios ut rather lead to a projected level of  gig tonnes in , and
Identify moreover "that much considerable discharge reduction performances will be needed in order to hold
the increase in the gloal average temperature to elow  C y reducing emissions to  giga tonnes or to

Although not the sustained temperatures over the long term to which the Agreement addresses, in the first
half of 2016 average temperatures were about 1.3 °C (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit) Over the mean in 1880,
when World data-keeping began. ―India would Conform The Paris Conference concern on October
2, 2016
the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi ―declare y our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Currently the
earth is disturbed about global Warming, Ozone layer depletion, Climate Change, and natural disasters.
Human competition has only now fulfilled the tragic effect of our material development on the nature,
Prime minister said.

2. Major challenges in India promotion towards climate change

The Earth future will be shaped by Six countries in the world, it produce more than  60% of the carbon
emissions namely China(29.51%),USA(14.34),EU(9.62%),India(6.81%),Russia(4.88%) and
Japan(3.47%). The Paris agreement , as accord upon by major countries, sets the planning for carbon
emission depletion after 2020.India is the 4th  country in the world to release carbon emissions, this
guidelines puts more pressure and responsibility on developing and underdeveloped nations to immensely
cut their carbon discharge and provide the required fund, technology and potential construction for
growing economies to reduce and adapt to climate change.

Here are some key features of India;

2.1. Population Explosion

Climate change plays a key role in underdeveloped, developed and developing countries like India to face
major challenges related to climate aspects. Population wise India (nearly 130 cr) is the IInd

Highest nation in the earth and covers only 2.4% geographical area. Now we can say that population of
India is equal to 17.86% of the total world population. Population growth generating serious resources (like
forest, land, air, water, fossil fuels, minerals etc) depletion and over usage of resources causes
environmental degradation and effects on climate change. It has been related to both to increase in
population size and generating waste matter into environment to deplete the resources. This is one aspect
to change Indian climate.

2.2 Carbon depletion targets

India is one of the major coals producing country in the world, the existing coal resources in India are
enough to meet our energy needs at least for more than 100 years and 63% of energy requirements in India
fulfil by coal. Major countries in the world to use coal for developmental activities and releasing carbon
dioxide by the following manner…

The carbon dioxide emissions of a country only an indication of major greenhouse gas and influence of
Climate change .The data indicate the massive producers of energy related CO 2 emissions in 2016. China
was the biggest carbon emitter and followed by USA. India usage of coal is more to generate electricity but
 per capita releasing of CO2  compared to other developed and developing nations it is less. The Paris
agreement builds upon the bottom up approach of voluntary commitments from both developed and
developing countries. The correspond advise group to increase their pre-2020 emission cuts and
acknowledges the significant gap between current pledges and what is required to be uniform with holding
temperature rise to 1.5 degrees.

2.3 Climate Economics

Climate economics — a stable bone of argument at the conferences — failed to see any scale of
determination. Developed countries accept to increase $100 billion yearly by 2020, with a commitment to
increased finance thereafter. An OECD(The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
report earlier this year protect that climate commerce had reached $62 billion in 2014 but the numbers
were quickly dismissed
 y India‘s environment minister Prakash  Javadekar. The United States of America will take diversions
on climate change and pull out of a universal deal to cut discharges. In future it may influence some other
countries to withdraw from the Paris agreement.

3. Mitigation Targets In India Towards Paris Climate Change

3.1. Usage of Renewable energy recourses like solar and wind energy
Renewable resources like Solar and wind energy are those which are not exhaustible and which can provide
continuous supply. In India government plan to establish wide range of solar panels, wind mills to generate energy
and changes the environment. As per the latest reports of ―Ministry of new and renewale energy
―solar power generation as on January ,7 is 9 MW India proposal to establish as much as 100
GW of electricity generation capacity through solar energy by 2022 , of which 40 GW would be through
independent rooftop structure. Wind energy is unstoppable and zero pollution, India had plans for setting up
of 60 GW of wind energy by 2022 and achieve NAPCC (National Action Plan on Climate Change) target of
15% from renewable energy by 2020.

The Paris Climate Change Conference is marked as a milestone in global climate cooperation. India‘s
Domestic Strategy for addressing climate change is reflected in many of its social and economic Development
Programmes By participating in international scientific climate change assessments,
conducting climate change research on climate change, India has deepened its understanding of the scientific
facts and the impact of and response to climate change.
A meaningful climate agreement in Paris will build a better today  –   and tomorrow. It will help us
end
 poverty. Clean our air and protect our oceans. Improve public health. Create new jobs and catalyse green
innovations It will accelerate progress towards all of the Sustainale Development Goals
India‘s Environmental guideline for implementing Paris Agreement is meant to enhance the implementation
of the
Convention and is comprehensive, balanced and ambitious.
