Context:
The UN’s Emissions Gap Report comes as a sharp warning to countries preparing to meet in Madrid in December, under the aegis of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Every year of inaction is jeopardising the main goal of the Paris Agreement: to keep the rise in global temperature over pre-industrial times well below 2°C, and ideally at 1.5°C.
Emissions gap represents the difference between current actions to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) and what is needed to meet the target.
In quantitative terms, the UN report estimates that there would have to be a 2.7% average annual cut in emissions from 2020 to 2030 for temperature rise to be contained at 2°C, while the more ambitious 1.5° C target would require a 7.6% reduction.
Postponing GHG emission Targets every year by most of the countries:
Are governments doing enough?
No. Today, countries are not doing enough.
United Nations Climate Change Conference 2019:
For India, Energy Conservation Code of 2018:
Giving a further fillip to India’s energy conservation efforts, Ministry of Power has launched the ECO Niwas Samhita 2018, an Energy Conservation Building Code for Residential Buildings (ECBC-R).
ECO Niwas Samhita 2018 an Energy Conservation Building Code for residential buildings, to push for energy efficiency in residential sector was launched on December 14, 2018.
It aims to promote design and construction of homes including apartments and townships to give benefits of energy efficiency to the occupants. Ministry of Power launched the ECO Niwas Samhita 2018.
To benefit the occupants and the environment by promoting energy efficiency in design and construction of homes, apartments and townships.
Conclusion:
Climate emergency declarations are, broadly, symbolic motions rather than legally binding legislation.
The UK’s declaration, for example, did not require any chances to the Climate Change Act or the nation’s Paris Agreement contributions.
As the UN report points out, India could do much more.
It needs to provide more consistent support for renewable energy, have a long-term plan to retire coal power plants, enhance ambition on air quality, adopt an economy-wide green industrialisation strategy, and expand mass transport.
In the key area of buildings, the energy conservation code of 2018 needs to be implemented under close scrutiny.
With a clear vision, India could use green technologies to galvanise its faltering economy, create new jobs and become a climate leader.
