New Delhi: Electric vehicles and solar and wind power could offset up to 80 per cent of the increase in energy demand through 2028, but an acceleration in clean technology deployment is required to guarantee a peak and subsequent decline in the world's carbon emissions, new research by the Global Carbon Project projects.
The 2026 Global Carbon Budget, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, projects India's emissions to increase by 4.4 per cent in 2026 -- higher than the 3.5 per cent average annual growth over the last decade -- even as China's emissions are projected to decrease by 0.9 per cent, following two years of low emissions growth.
