India, as highlighted in the Economic Survey 2023-24, has made significant strides in environmental protection and sustainability, recognizing its vulnerability to climate change. The survey showcased India's success in reducing emission intensity by 33% between 2005-2019, surpassing the NDC targets for 2030 ahead of schedule. India aims to further increase the share of non-fossil fuel-based electricity and enhance forest cover for carbon absorption by 2030. The country's GDP growth has outpaced emissions growth, indicating a successful decoupling of economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions. Recent green initiatives like PM-Surya Ghar Yojana and the Green Hydrogen Mission demonstrate India's commitment to boosting renewable energy capacity and green hydrogen production. Additionally, India has taken a leadership role in international climate initiatives, including the International Solar Alliance and efforts towards building resilient infrastructure. The Survey emphasizes the importance of integrating climate strategies into national development policies for sustainable economic growth over the long term, considering environmental and climate factors' impact on socio-economic stability and public health.
