Climate change has become an increasingly important global challenge. In order to deal with the threat of climate change, the Indian government is committed to reducing the emission intensity of its GDP by 33-35% over 2005 levels, by 2030. For achieving this target, the government has stipulated a series of policies and actions.
Climate Solver is a climate innovations platform developed by WWF to strengthen the development and widespread use of low carbon technologies, which radically or transformatively reduce carbon-dioxide emissions or provide energy access. The platform stimulates the diffusion of innovative low carbon technologies and also generates awareness about them along with the overall value of innovation as an immediate and practical solution to climate change.
