## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE (DR. MAHESH SHARMA)

(a) and (b)  India has voluntarily pledged to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 20-25 per cent by 2020, compared with the 2005 level. Implementation of eight national missions under National Action Plan on Climate Change and other measures have contributed in reduction of emission intensity of GDP by about 12% between 2005 and 2010. Under the Paris Agreement, India  has  also  conveyed  its  Nationally  Determined  Contributions  (NDC)  for  the  period  20212030,  including  reduction  of    emission  intensity  of  its  GDP  by  33-35  per  cent  by  2030  with reference to 2005, installation of 40 per cent cumulative electric power capacity from non-fossil fuel  based  energy  sources  by  2030,  and  creation  of  additional  carbon  sink  of  2.5  to  3  billion tones of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030 etc.

The National Adaptation Fund on Climate Change is meant to meet cost of adaptation measures of States/ Union Territories. So far, 26 projects have been approved at a total cost of Rs. 648.90 crore out of which Rs. 315.30 crore has been released covering the sectors of water, agriculture and animal husbandry and forestry. The details of grant approved and released, during last two years and current financial years, to State/ Union Territories, including Madhya Pradesh are at Annexure-I.
