Study Finds India’s Contribution to Global Warming Below 0.05°C, US Leads at 0.27°C
Research shows India has contributed under 0.05°C to global warming as of 2024, less than major emitters like the US (0.27°C), China (0.19°C), the EU (0.17°C), and Russia (0.07-0.08°C). India's warming share has increased notably since 1990, driven mainly by carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and significant methane and nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture. Despite its relatively low contribution, India faces severe climate impacts due to its tropical climate and dense population, highlighting the need for energy decarbonisation.
