Which one among the following elements is not a part of the 'Panchamrit' of India's climate action presented at COP-26?
Achieving the target of net zero emissions by 2047
India's 'Panchamrit' commitments announced at COP-26 (2021) comprise five elements: reaching 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, meeting 50 percent of energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030, reducing total projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030, reducing the carbon intensity of the economy by 45 percent by 2030 over 2005 levels, and achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.
The target year for achieving net-zero emissions under Panchamrit is 2070, not 2047, making the option stating '2047' factually incorrect.
The other three listed elements, i.e., 50 percent renewable energy share by 2030, one billion tonnes emission reduction by 2030, and 45 percent carbon intensity reduction by 2030, are all genuine parts of the Panchamrit pledge.
Hence, the answer is that achieving net-zero emissions by 2047 is not a part of the Panchamrit, since the actual target year is 2070.
