To address the challenges posed by India's National Determination Contribution (NDC) submission, here are some possible actions that can be taken:
  1. Increase emissions projections: Consider revising your NDC emissions projections upwards to reflect current or expected emissions trajectories.
  2. Enhanced ambition targets: Increase the overall target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from your first NDC by at least 45%, in line with the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping global warming under 1.5\°C.
  3. Sectoral targets: Provide more specific sectoral targets, like the power or energy sector, where deep reductions are required to ensure overall transition.
  4. Emissions-reduction plans: Outline a detailed plan and implementation timeline to achieve these new targets, while also ensuring that all projects and activities are eligible for carbon credits under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
  5. Public support: Emphasize international cooperation on shared goals and timelines through national policies, agreements in place since COP27 or COP28 will help drive ambition forward.
  6. Global coordination: Consider increasing international pressure and mobilizing global public opinion to strengthen climate change mitigation efforts.
  7. Adaptation funding: Ensure that sufficient adaptation funds are allocated for vulnerable sectors of society.

The Indian government’s efforts come as countries across the world submit their plans to address climate change.
