India has reduced its greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions, according to a new data submitted by India to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

In its fourth biennial update report India stated that in the period 2005 to 2021, an additional carbon sink of 2.29 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent has been created. Carbon sink refers to plantation of forest, river and trees which could absorb more carbon emissions.

Biennial update reports are submitted by developing countries to the UNFCCC every two years.
