How can India reduce its per capita emissions and avoid being seen as a major GHG emitter

India's Minister states that India should not be seen as 3rd or 4th-largest GHG emitter due to low per capita emissions.

Transition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro power to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Implement energy efficiency measures in industries, transportation, and buildings to decrease overall emissions.
Promote public transportation and electric vehicles to reduce emissions from the transportation sector.
Adopt sustainable agricultural practices to minimize greenhouse gas emissions from farming activities.
Invest in afforestation and reforestation projects to enhance carbon sequestration and offset emissions.
Implement policies to encourage the use of clean technologies and incentivize emission reductions in various sectors.

By taking such steps, India can lower its per capita emissions and demonstrate its commitment to combatting climate change on a global scale.
