India’s economy will become carbon neutral by the year 2070, the country’s prime minister announces at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
“By 2070, India will achieve the target of net-zero emissions,” Narendra Modi told more than 120 leaders at the critical talks.
India is the last of the world’s major carbon polluters to announce a net-zero target, with China saying it would reach that goal in 2060, and the US and the EU aiming for 2050.
