UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) - India signs, emphasizing 'common but differentiated responsibilities'.
Kyoto Protocol - India does not have binding emission reduction targets as a developing nation.
National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) launched - Eight national missions for climate action.
Paris Agreement - India submits its first Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
COP26 (Glasgow) - PM Modi announces 'Panchamrit' commitments, including Net Zero by 2070.
India updates its NDCs - Enhancing 2030 targets (45% emissions intensity reduction, 50% non-fossil capacity).
National Green Hydrogen Mission launched - ₹19,744 crore outlay for green hydrogen production.
Private EVs allowed as Shared Taxis - Policy supporting transport decarbonization (Current News).

India's long-term goal announced at COP26, requiring massive transformations across all sectors, including transport.
GHG Emission Reduction: Primary goal is to reduce the concentration of GHGs like CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere.
Renewable Energy Transition: Promoting the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro power.
Energy Efficiency: Implementing measures to reduce energy consumption across sectors (industrial, residential, transport).
Carbon Sequestration: Enhancing natural carbon sinks through afforestation, reforestation, and sustainable land management.
India's NDC Targets (under Paris Agreement): To reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030 from 2005 level; achieve about 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030.
Panchamrit Commitments (COP26, Glasgow): India's five-fold strategy including reaching non-fossil energy capacity of 500 GW by 2030, 50% of energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030, 1 billion tonnes reduction in total projected carbon emissions by 2030, 45% reduction in emissions intensity by 2030, and achieving Net Zero by 2070.
Sectoral Policies: Development of policies for sustainable transport (e.g., EVs), green buildings, industrial decarbonization, and waste management.
International Cooperation: Active participation in global forums and initiatives to share best practices and secure climate finance and technology transfer.
This timeline outlines India's significant national and international commitments and policy initiatives in addressing climate change, showcasing its evolving role and ambitious goals.
India has transitioned from a cautious participant to a proactive leader in global climate action, balancing development needs with environmental responsibilities. Its commitments reflect a growing ambition to decarbonize its economy.
