The International Energy Forum (IEF), the world’s largest energy organisation with 71 member countries, on Thursday commended India for announcing the goal to reach net zero emissions by 2070.

India, a member of IEF, aims to increase non-fossil energy to 500 gigawatts (GW), supply 50 per cent of its energy needs from renewable sources, reduce CO2 emissions by one billion tonnes, and cut carbon intensity by 45 per cent.

IEF Secretary General Joseph McMonigle commended India for announcing net zero goal at the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference in the UK, the agency said in a statement.
