    India’s CO2 emissions in last

    decade?
    A India's CO2 emissions have demonstrated a remarkable decoupling from economic growth, with per capita emissions remaining significantly below the global average, primarily due to an aggressive push towards renewable energy sources and improved energy efficiency in industrial sectors, despite a marginal increase in total emissions driven by sustained population growth and urbanization. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B India has experienced a substantial and continuous increase in its total CO2 emissions, positioning it as one of the world's largest emitters, largely attributed to its heavy reliance on coal for energy generation to meet escalating industrial and residential demand, alongside a rapid expansion of its transportation infrastructure, despite efforts to diversify its energy mix. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C While India's absolute CO2 emissions have shown a consistent upward trajectory over the past decade, driven by its developmental imperatives and the expansion of its manufacturing base, its emissions intensity per unit of GDP has notably declined, indicating a transition towards more carbon-efficient technologies and processes, albeit at a pace that has not fully offset the overall growth in emissions. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D India's CO2 emissions have seen a significant rise over the last decade, primarily due to its rapid economic expansion and increased energy demand, with coal remaining the dominant fuel source. While there has been a growing emphasis on renewable energy, the pace of adoption has not been sufficient to significantly curb the overall upward trend in emissions, leading to India becoming the third-largest emitter globally. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Over the last decade, India's CO2 emissions have seen a significant rise, primarily driven by its rapid economic expansion and increased energy demand, with coal remaining the dominant fuel source. Despite a growing emphasis on renewable energy, the pace of adoption has not been sufficient to significantly curb the overall upward trend in emissions, leading to India becoming the third-largest emitter globally.
