The global climate crisis arguably had been the biggest challenge in today's world. India was one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters and had been experiencing adverse impacts of climate change like drought and heat waves, water shortage, flooding and storms and also related negative repercussion on health and livelihoods. Besides, it had affected agriculture and endangered food security in India. Consequently, bad weather conditions had been costing India over USD9-10 billion annually. While experiencing the worst impact of climate change, the country had launched the National Action Plan on Climate Change to mitigate and adapt to climate change. India even went on to ratify 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, where it vowed to cut energy emissions intensity by 30% and intensify its clean energy production. With this end, India embarked on a massive renewable energy programme. Subsequently, in 2017, the World Bank announced that India was emerging as a front runner in the global fight against climate change. Amidst this development, will India lead the world in the fight against climate change?
