Explanation of the steps taken by India to combat climate change and achieve SDGs
India has taken significant steps to combat climate change and achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as per PM Modi's statement. Here are some of the steps taken by India in this regard:
  • India has pledged to reduce carbon emissions by 33-35% below 2005 levels by 2030, and to achieve 40% of electricity generation from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030 through its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
  • India has launched the National Clean Energy Fund to promote research and development in the renewable energy sector.
  • The Indian government has launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) to ensure clean and healthy living for all citizens.
  • The government has also launched the National Rural Livelihood Mission to help reduce poverty and unemployment in rural areas.
  • India has established the National Adaptation Fund for Climate Change to help vulnerable communities adapt to climate change.
  • The government has also launched the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) to mitigate climate change impacts and raise public awareness on climate change.
  • India has joined the International Solar Alliance to promote clean energy and reduce carbon emissions globally.
These initiatives demonstrate India's commitment to addressing climate change and achieving the SDGs. However, more work needs to be done to ensure sustainable development for all.
