Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

Both statements are incorrect according to India's updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) submitted to the UNFCCC in August 2022. The official commitments are as follows:

  • Statement 1: India has committed to reduce the Emissions Intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030 from the 2005 level. The statement incorrectly mentions 47% by 2035.
  • Statement 2: India has set a target to achieve about 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030. The statement incorrectly mentions 60% by 2035.

These targets represent a significant enhancement of India’s climate transition goals from its first NDC (2015) and serve as milestones toward achieving Net Zero emissions by 2070.
