Biharemits around 74mtCO2e (metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) carbon emissions per annum, which is only around 2-3 % of the national Average. In normal scenario, the temperature may rise by 1.5 degrees C in almost all districts by 2070, unless mitigation measures are adopted.
These are the preliminary findings of an ongoing study titled Climate resilient and low carbon development pathways for Bihar.
The , through the Bihar StatePollutionControl Board, had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) withUnited NationsEnvironment Programme (UNEP), India, in February 2021 to prepare strategies to build climate resilience of people and systems and reach net zero emission by 2070.
