India thinks it may be possible to cut its carbon intensity by 24 percent by 2020 compared with 2005 levels, according to provisional government estimates obtained by Reuters Wednesday. Carbon intensity is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted for each unit of gross domestic product. By 2030, India estimates it could achieve a reduction in its carbon intensity by 37 percent from 2005 levels. The figures were arrived at after an analysis by various government departments.

Today's 387 ppm CO2 concentration is already greater than the 350 ppm that should be the target.
