India has pledge to reduce its emission intensity (CO₂/GDP) 33-35% from 2005 levels by 2030, leading to a big rise in CO₂ emissions by 2030.
In context, 1.5°C requires a 45% reduction in CO₂ emissions from 2010 levels by 2030, globally!

Yes, India has much lower per capita CO₂ emissions than many countries & is below the world average. But, if 1.5°C or 2°C is the goal, then even countries with low per capita emissions have to reduce emissions...
Yes, US, EU, etc have to do more, so does India, China, etc

For context, the #IPCC WG3 Lead Author Meeting is just starting in New Delhi, India. We are hearing the positive stories about climate policy in India at the opening session.
If India wants 1.5°C or 2°C, it is not about achieving a weak NDC, it is about raising ambition!
