The word Carbon Neutral was first coined in the year 2006 and is defined as accomplishing net zero emission by balancing the volume of carbon emitted by anthropogenic activities with the volume of carbon captivated by the atmosphere. In simple words, emissions added into the atmosphere will be balanced out by absorbing an equivalent amount.  The roots of carbon neutrality can be traced back to the Paris Agreement which aims at limiting global temperature up to 1.5°C by 2050.  Shortly, the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change published a report stating the target of 1.5°C is possible if dedicated and strong commitments are adopted by countries to reduce per capita emissions. According to latest data on nationally determined contributions, United Kingdom (UK), European Union (EU), Australia accompanied by United States (US) presented most ambitious goal in emission reduction by 2030. The year 2021 witnessed CoP 26, the most significant climate event, wherein 197 countries pledged for stronger actions to reduce carbon emission by 2030. A few important outcomes of the conference included coal transition,  climate finance, deforestation and methane pledge. India is most susceptible to climate change and as a developing country it has committed to being carbon neutral by 2070. Since the past few decades negotiations around emission reduction are at the heart of solving climate crisis and globally countries such as EU, UK, US and China are at the forefront for carbon neutrality. In this article, we will examine legislative actions deployed by India and other countries that aim to be carbon neutral 20 years before India.
