Climate change is largely the result of the industrialised countries' disproportionately high annual per capita emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and cumulative emissions of GHGs. India is among the most vulnerable areas because of the global character of the issue, although generating only 4% of the total global emissions (from 1850 to 2019) and maintaining substantially lower per capita emissions than the global average. Despite having less of the guilt for the massive emissions stock, India has demonstrated its leadership in the global economy by making several commitments to low-emission growth and achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
