State governments in India play a crucial role in fighting climate change by implementing local action plans. The study looked at how different states are doing in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to clean energy. They found that some states are ahead of others in using renewable energy, like solar and wind power. However, there are differences in how each state is meeting the national targets. By comparing emissions from sectors like power, industry, and transport, the researchers identified areas where states need to focus more, such as improving energy efficiency in industries. This analysis helps states understand their emissions better and find ways to reduce them.
