India’s stand on the Paris Agreement has been critical as it alone accounts for 4.5 percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions. For the Paris Climate Agreement to come into effect, at least 55 percent of the participating nations accounting for 55 percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions need to ratify it.
The Indian government took additional time to announce its stand because it wanted to complete some projects. These projects, many of which are heavily relying on usage of fossil fuels, will need amendments when the country complies with the Paris Agreement climate pact guidelines.
