India is unlikely to submit its updated climate pledge before the conclusion of the UN climate summit in Brazil, raising questions about its influence in global efforts to combat climate change. Experts say the delay may reflect frustration over slow progress on international climate funding, though it could also limit the country’s leadership role at the talks. Officials highlighted that India has already met some of its previous climate targets ahead of schedule, with non-fossil fuel sources now accounting for more than half of the nation’s electricity capacity. The updated climate goals for 2035 are expected to be submitted by December. The delay comes at a time when global leaders are emphasizing urgent action to address the impacts of climate change.
