Ep 6: Is India on track to meet its climate action goals?

We've seen a lot of talk, policies and diplomatic meetings take place around climate action. More green bills and climate action plans are being written up, in the hope of meeting collective targets set by 170+ nations around the world. Meeting these targets is essential, as the science community argues, to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.    India, too, has set ambitious targets in various areas including cutting emissions, amping up renewable energy supply, and switching to e-mobility in public transport services wherever possible.   But Is our progress steady or strong enough to meet those ambitious targets? In which areas are we still lagging behind compared to other nations in similar economic standing?    In this sixth episode of our science podcast, we speak to Ulka Kelkar, Director of the Climate program at World Resources Institute–India, and Pranay Krishnan, Principal Environmental Specialist at the Environmental Management Centre, about India's progress towards its climate action targets.
