A key goal of the present climate change framework is to reduce green-house gas (GHG) emissions in a cost-effective manner. Even though India has no legal commitments to reduce GHG emissions, it has taken a number of steps to do so through policies and legislation. However, despite several initiatives in place, India has been deemed one of the most vulnerable countries to be impacted by climate change. Thus, an examination of India's GHG mitigation strategy, as well as recommendations for enhancing the country's current legal framework to manage GHG emissions, are in order. This article examined the policies and laws undertaken to tackle climate change in India, with a focus on energy conservation, air pollution reduction, and afforestation. Most initiatives targeted sustainable development and low-carbon inclusive growth. There were, however, certain gaps in the policy, legal, and institutional frameworks highlighted by the author.
