A Dual Strategy Sprint Towards Sustainability: Non-CO₂ Pathways for Haryana

This report presents a comprehensive emission inventory of non-CO2 pollutants for the state of Haryana, using 2019 as the baseline year. It highlights the critical need to sharpen focus on such non-CO2 pollutants, especially Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs)—including methane (CH4), black carbon (BC), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and tropospheric ozone (O3) to mitigate shorter-term climate impacts, while maintaining the long-term momentum on CO2. To work towards this holistic strategy, the report analyzes the projected trends in SLCPs and other non-CO2 pollutants under a Business-As-Usual scenario through 2047. The report also evaluates a set of policy-driven alternative scenarios across sectors, identifying pathways to achieve maximum emission reductions.
