India's two major political parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Indian National Congress, have released manifestos addressing climate change concerns. Despite the focus on air pollution, coal's role in climate change remains unaddressed. The parties highlight the need for a just transition away from coal and towards renewable energy sources. As heatwaves grip the country, there is a call for heat action plans and measures to adapt to extreme weather events. The election dialogue lacks discussion on climate change impacts, despite India's vulnerability. The manifestos include pledges for carbon neutrality, increasing non-fossil fuel energy, and addressing air pollution through clean air programs. The BJP emphasizes initiatives like electric vehicles, green hydrogen, ethanol blending, and flood management. The Congress focuses on green investments, forest cover assessment, and sustainable infrastructure. Both parties aim to combat climate change effects by promoting renewable energy, improving air quality, and implementing green initiatives.
