Key projects

At the COP 26 Climate Summit in Glasgow, India set an ambitious target of attaining net-zero emissions by 2070 and a 45% reduction in the emissions intensity of its GDP below the 2005 levels by 2030. The transport sector holds responsible for 14 percent of energy-related CO2 emissions, and it also accounts for 70 percent of total diesel consumption and 100 percent of gasoline consumption.

Accounting for around 15% of total vehicular movement, urban freight activities contribute significantly to the local air pollution, as commercial vehicle segment is largely dependent on conventional fuels. With rapid increase in freight activity, well-planned efforts toward achieving net-zero emissions target by 2070 are crucial.

India’s wetlands and peatlands span over 15 million hectares and quietly store vast amounts of carbon. When degraded, they turn into greenhouse gas emitters—but when restored, they can deliver climate mitigation, flood regulation, biodiversity protection, and livelihoods, making them a powerful yet overlooked climate solution.
