In the modern world where technology continues to drive our way of life, the focus on growing environmental problems seems to have taken a backseat. While there are numerous contributing factors leading to the problems pertaining to the environment, energy remains at the heart of climate change.

When it comes to global greenhouse gas emissions and carbon dioxide emissions, fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas remain atop in the list of key contributors to global climate change. This, in turn, has made it imperative for human beings to reduce these emissions by ending our reliance on fossil fuels and finding alternative energy sources like renewable and green energy.

Though fossil fuels still make up for more than 80 percent of global energy production, the cleaner sources of energy are gaining more ground. Amid an increase in the global efforts to confront threats of climate change, the transition towards clean energy has also brought a major paradigm shift in India.

The recent years have been mere witness to India taking concrete steps in terms of investments, technological adoptions, policy changes, and many more in order to meet its green energy target and UN’s SDG-7 (United Nations Sustainable Development Goal-7). Acting on its commitment to fight climate change, India also aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2070 and meet 50% of its electricity needs with green energy sources by 2030.
