India has decided as part of its post 2020 climate plan to anchor global solar alliance INSPA which is the International Agency for Solar Policy and Application of countries situated between Cancer and Capricorn tropics. According to World Resources Institute, per capita emissions of India equal 2.44 metric tonnes as against 8.13 metric tonnes by China. India may be the third largest GHG emitter, but it accounts for less than 7 percent of the global share. Indian government is looking to increase share of clean energy in total energy mix by close to 40% by 2030. Climate action plan is called INDC. Besides India, 147 other nations have submitted their INDCs to the UNFCCC.
