India is on track to achieve its emission targets well before 2030, according to a report by IFC1. The report praises India’s climate actions, such as expanding renewable energy, issuing green bonds, and joining the NGFS network. The implication is that India is a global leader in green finance and low-carbon development. #India #EmissionTargets #IFC

Every time the Govt mentions it, there is a howl of "think of our farmers" - weirdly this protest is from people who aren't farmers, and farmers are an edge case compared to the total number of #highemission vehicles sold

And all the while, #NZers know we are missing our #emissiontargets
