India banks on renewables to reduce greenhouse gas emissions • FRANCE 24 English

At the COP29 summit draws to a close, this report takes us to a renewable energy farm in India, partly owned by billionaire Gautam Adani. He has just been charged in the US for allegedly bribing Indian authorities over contracts for solar plants in the south of the country. As one of the largest producers of greenhouse gases, India is at a critical juncture in its battle against climate change. Given its pace of economic expansion, the country continues to rely heavily on fossil fuels to meet the energy demands of its 1.4 billion people. However, this fast-growing economy is also aiming to become a leader in renewable energy. Yet reports say India's climate goals for 2030 would cost close to €1 trillion. FRANCE 24's Priyata Brajabasi, Navodita Kumari and Lisa Gamonet report.
