New Delhi: India may be the only G20 country and among several countries globally those who have ‘2 degrees Celsius’ are compatible with the Paris Agreement, but a strict new ranking system from the Action Tracker Climate (CAT) has lowered the whole country as a whole From the ‘almost adequate’ category in November last year to ‘very insufficient’ category equivalent to China, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada, South Korea, Argentina and Mexico this month.
The new ranking system, released on Wednesday, is calculated in different parameters including climate action target updates such as the purpose of the medieval ‘zero’ emissions and compatibility steps ‘1.5 degrees C’.
Ranking 37 countries by cats, which are run by non-profit non-profit climate analysis based in Germany and the Climate Institute Agency Research Agency, shows Gambia Small nations as the only compatible country ‘1.5 degrees C’.
The cat assessed the UK, Germany, Japan, the United States, Nepal and 12 other countries above India in the ‘almost adequate’ category and ‘insufficient’ because of the increase in their respective climate action goals and other steps.
Although the UK domestic target is compatible ‘1.5 degrees C’, Tacker notes that state policy and international support are not suitable.
India’s rating will increase significantly if it increases the climate action target – called the contribution specified nationally (NDC) – under the Paris agreement, factoring to regulate 450 gw renewable energy in 2030.
The country’s net energy through renewable energy.
And green hydrogen will, in fact, make it compatible with ‘1.5 degrees C’.
“In the previous system, we only assess the target of India’s NDC to its fair shares.
We have updated our fair share calculations, and for India this becomes more stringent, leading to fair shares’ very inadequate ‘, compared to the previous’ 2 degrees C compatible ‘(almost adequate), “said the tracker in it global updates about climate action.
“Special concerns are Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland and Vietnam.
They failed to lift the ambition at all, sending the same 2030 target or even less ambitious than they dispose of 2015.
This country needs to rethink their choice, “said Bill Hare, Climate Analytics CEO.
At the front of the policy, the tracker noted that coal remains a problem with China and India both have a big plan on the pipeline.
“Southeast Asia is also a concern, with Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea still planning to advance with the most polluting fossil fuels,” said the cat report.
In the NDC, he said the update delivered so far in 2020-2021 has narrowed the gap with what is needed for 1.5 degrees C only up to 15%.
There are still more than 70 countries that have not sent updated targets.
In the ‘zero zero’ encouragement, the report said even though the target waves ‘zero zero national century’ gave reasons of hope, it would fail without enough reduction of 2030.
“There needs to be smooth between 2030 targets and zero goals for the last to be trusted.
Our judgment shows That most zero zero targets are formulated vaguely and not in accordance with good practices, “he said.
