India formally joined the Paris Climate Change Agreement by submitting its instrument
of ratification at UN Headquarters in New York on October 2, 2016. The
instrument of ratification was deposited by India's Permanent Representative to
the UN, \ Ir. Sved Akbaruddin. By putting the seal on the climate deal,
the country will now urge the global community to adopt 'Gandhian way of
life' (shun extravagant lifestyles) to reduce their carbon footprints and
protect the earth from adverse impact of climate change. Environment
Minister Mr. Anil Niadhav Dave said that India had led from the front to ensure
the inclusion of climate justice and sustainable lifestyles in the Paris
Agreement. He said that apart from emission cuts, India also focuses on
measures that involve broader participation. People in the developed countries
live extravagant
lifestyles with high carbon footprint. Simple everyday changes in lifestyles, when practised
by a large number of people around the globe collectively would make a huge impact, he said.

The UN Secretary-General also acknowledged India's decision to submit its instrument of ratification on the birth anniversary of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi which also coincides with the International Day of Non-Violence. India, accounting for 4.1% of the total global emission, has become the 62nd country to ratify the Paris Agreement. With India on board, the total emission share of these countries reached 51.89% mark—just 3.11% less than the emission threshold to bring the Agreement into force. Once EU (28 nations), accounting for 12.1% of the total Global Emission, joins it, the deal will enter into force after 30 days
