India
Indian Prime Minister Modi says India will only reach net zero by 2070, twenty years later than the Paris Climate Agreement goal. I disagree. While India only emits around 1.9 tonnes of CO2 per person, compared with 15.5 tonnes for the US, India is already the fourth largest polluter (behind the China, the US and the EU). Yet, I am convinced that India will reach net zero by 2050. Why? Because it is part of a global system that is rapidly and irreversibly transforming. India will be driven by mounting social pressure, climate impacts, technology advances and market forces.
