The report said, India is not on track for a 1.5 degrees Celsius world. To be on track, India needs to limit its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to 4.597 MtCO2e by 2030 and below 3.389 MtCO2e by 2050.

India can do so by adopting a 'no new coal' policy as well as working on a plan to phase out coal by 2040.
India's average death rate per 1,000 due to air pollution is more than 1.7 to 18 times the G20 average.

At least 19 of the G20 countries have chosen to provide financial support to their domestic oil, coal and/or gas sectors and 14 countries bailed out their national airline companies without climate conditions attached.

Due to the impacts of the pandemic, G20 energy-related CO2 emissions are projected to be 7.5 per cent lower by the end of 2020 compared with 2019.
Most notably, global aviation emissions collapsed this year.

While 18 of the G20 countries are in the process of or have already implemented carbon-pricing schemes, Australia and India have no such plans.

"India's transport sector accounts for 14 per cent of its energy-related #CO2emissions. As car ownership grows, India should quickly increase the share of #EVs and invest in sustainable urban public transport," RR Rashmi from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) told IANS.
