India's Importance and Obstacles in Achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2050

Résumé

The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) emerging economies will have a big impact on the direction of the world economy and environment. Their carbon-intensive economic systems have a major role in the worldwide production of greenhouse gases (GHGs), which is what causes climate change. But in the interest of a sustainable and climate-neutral global economy, the BRICS have entered the contest to emerging net. But there are chances and difficulties along the way. Regarding the impact on net-zero trajectories, scientists' responses to the spread of the coronavirus illness 2019 (COVID-19) were not uniform. Although statistical evidence indicates a relationship COVID-19 and a drop in overall emissions, it is anticipated that COVID-19 hampered affected to create CO₂ reduced economies. More inquiry is thus still required to fully understand how COVID-19 may affect efforts to achieve net-zero, particularly in emerging nations. To reach net-zero emissions by 2050, governments and stakeholders must concentrate on removing the obstacles while taking advantage of the possibilities brought about by the pandemic.
