All the Parties commended India’s efforts on the BUR and its climate actions, including recent announcements of new measures.
India on Sunday told the UN climate summit here that its solar energy capacity stands at about 45 gigawatts after it increased 17 times in the last seven years, asserting that although the country represents 17% of the global population, its historical cumulative emissions are only 4%.
India said this while giving a presentation on its third Biennial Update Report (BUR) during the 11th Facilitative Sharing of Views (FSV) at the ongoing COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
The BUR was submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in February.
