politics and international relation, climate change policy,

ABSTRACT Climate Change (CC) is currently having a devastating and harmful influence on the planet. Which is caused by intensive industrialization, agriculture, transportation, pollution, and other factors, along with the dangers of rising sea levels, land degradation, and rising temperatures. However, many nations are unable to meet their CC action plan commitments owing to internal issues. Recently, a developing country like India has enacted a stringent climate change action plan, as well as a strategy for long-term growth and development. India's National Action Plan for Climate Change and Energy Security (NAPCC) is a co-benefit approach to addressing the threat of climate change. The National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC) outlines India's goal for environmentally sustainable growth as well as the steps that must be taken to put it into action. India must make a deliberate shift away from fossil fuels and toward a renewable-energy-based economy. By 2030, India's INDC has set a goal of 175 GW of renewable energy. 32 Indian states have designed and are implementing their own state-level climate change action plans. Despite the fact that there have been several studies on climate change concerns and their causes and consequences in India, this study focuses on India's position on climate action and its policies on climate change action plans from Kyoto to the Paris agreement. India's emerging global leadership position on climate change as a result of its policies and activities was also examined in this study.
