Restoring all degraded forests of world would

capture about 205 billion tons of carbon in
total (which is about 2/3rd of all carbon
emissions)
• India’s emissions are still very low – at only 1.8 tonnes of CO2 per capita –
which is much lower than the world average of 4.2 tonnes. 

• A fully-grown tree can annually absorb up to 150kg of carbon dioxide

(CO2) . 12-15 trees is enough per person to nullify co2 emmited.

•India’s pledge under the Paris Agreement is to reduce the carbon intensity

(see below) of its economy by 33-35% by 2030, compared to 2005 levels.
