India has been a proactive participant in the global fight against climate change and has taken several initiatives in this regard.

• India ratified the Paris Climate Agreement in 2016 and pledged to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 33-35% from 2005 levels by 2030.
• India has launched several schemes like the National Clean Energy Fund, National Action Plan on Climate Change, and the International Solar Alliance to promote clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• India has set a target of achieving 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, out of which 100 GW will be from solar power. India has already achieved 87 GW of installed capacity of renewable energy.
• India has also launched several programs to reduce air pollution like the National Air Quality Index and the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan.
• India has also taken steps to reduce deforestation and promote forestation. India's forest cover has increased by 5,188 sq km between 2017-2019.
• India has also taken an active role in global climate negotiations and played a vital role in the formation of the International Solar Alliance.

India's stance is that developed countries, who have contributed most to climate change, should bear a greater responsibility in mitigating climate change. India's role in the global fight against climate change has been crucial as it is the world's third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases and has a significant stake in the climate change discourse.
