It is to be noted that 16 million ha of primary forests were lost between 2015 and 2025. South America accounted for the most share of primary forest losses recorded during the decade.

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has proposed to notify an Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) of 408.7 sq km around the Barasingha Wildlife Sanctuary (formerly Hastinapur Wildlife Sanctuary) in Uttar Pradesh.
The ESZ will act as a “shock absorber” to reduce the impact of external activities on the ecosystem. A Monitoring Committee will be set up to oversee the management of the area, and a Zonal Master Plan is mandated to be formulated within 2 years.
India has submitted its third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for the 2031-2035 period to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is to be noted that the previous NDCs were submitted in 2015 (pertaining to 2025) and 2022 (pertaining to 2030).
The revised climate targets commit to a minimum 47% reduction in the emission intensity of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from the 2005 baseline by 2035. India also aims to achieve 60% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2035.
Additionally, the government has pledged to create an additional carbon sink of 3.5 to 4 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through expanded forest and tree cover by 2035, compared to the 2005 baseline levels.
According to a study titled “Spotlight on the Top 25 Methane Plumes in 2025: Landfills” released by the University of California, the Jawahar Nagar Landfill (Hyderabad) is ranked 4th globally with an estimated methane emission rate of 5.9 tonnes per hour.
The Kanjurmarg Landfill (Mumbai) is ranked 12th globally among the top methane-emitting sites identified in the report.
The Space Applications Centre (SAC) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has signed an MoU with the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE) to enhance sustainable land management practices in India.
The project involves mapping 3.2 lakh sq. km of land, which constitutes nearly 10% of the total geographical area of India. It is to be noted that the initiative is a significant step towards the goal of India to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality
