• The Environment Ministry launched the India Net Zero Portal and National Action Plan on Climate Change Dashboard in Mumbai on September 16.
• The two platforms were launched on World Ozone Day 2026 to strengthen digital monitoring and climate governance across India.
• The India Net Zero Portal enables Indian entities to voluntarily register Net Zero commitments and update their progress through a centralised platform.
• Organisations are encouraged to report Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, while Scope 3 reporting remains voluntary.
• Entities declaring Net Zero targets receive ministry acknowledgement, while their publicly accessible declarations create a consolidated repository of voluntary climate commitments.
• The climate dashboard provides a unified digital view of implementation and progress across National Missions under the climate action framework.
• The dashboard supports ministry-level monitoring and helps identify implementation gaps across different climate missions and programmes.
• India’s climate action framework includes eight National Missions covering solar energy, energy efficiency, sustainable habitat, water and Himalayan ecosystem conservation.
• Other missions focus on Green India, sustainable agriculture and strategic knowledge development to strengthen national responses to climate change.
• India’s Net Zero framework aims to balance greenhouse gas emissions with removals, with the national target of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2070.
