A Perspective Study on Emission of Greenhouse Gases with relation to Climate Change in India
India has made significant progress towards meeting its emissions reductions under the Paris Agreement. With current policies, total GHG emissions would nonetheless increase by more than 40 per cent by 2030. A modest increase in short-term emissions is necessary to meet poverty reduction and energy security goals. A more rapid scaling up of current policies help lower emissions considerably over the medium-term and bring India a closer to a path to net zero by 2070. Total greenhouse gas emissions are the sum of emissions of various gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons. The greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are driving climate change and continue to rise. The world must transform its energy, industry, transport, food, agriculture and forestry system to ensure the cost savings policies to cut greenhouse gas emissions. This study focused on emission of greenhouse gases from agriculture, industrial processes, energy and its impact on climate change. Secondary data related to emissions were collected for 20 years. Statistical tools such as annual growth rate, compound annual growth rate was used for analysis. This study helps to find out the emission of gases that lead to climate change in India.
