The Indian Government has recently pledged to reduce the projected carbon emissions by

A1 billion tons by 2050

B1 billion tons by 2030 ✓ Correct

C2.5 billion tons by 2050

D100 million tons by 2030

Correct answer: (B) 1 billion tons by 2030

Explanation

India pledged at the Glasgow climate summit to cut its projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030.

The same target set to 2050 misstates the near-term deadline India actually announced.

A figure of 2.5 billion tonnes by 2050 does not match the one-billion pledge.

A figure of 100 million tonnes by 2030 understates the scale of the commitment.

This forms part of the Panchamrit package of five climate goals.

Alongside it India promised net zero emissions by the year 2070.
