The researchers also identified positive tipping points, including rapid improvement in battery technologies as electric cars become more popular — a development that could in turn could make the widespread use of renewable energy easier.

India's points on «sustainable lifestyle and sustainable pattern of consumption» — the bedrock of the country's concept of Mission LiFE (lifestyle for environment) — is also noted in the text as one of the options to address climate change issues. Though the 24-page draft text will see several rounds of updates incorporating countries' viewpoints in the next few days, the formulation on phasing out of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) and fossil fuel subsidies will certainly cause deep divides among participants, including India, China and the oil-rich nations, on different points until a landing zone arrives in the final text in terms of «an orderly and just phase-out» or «phase out of unabated use» or «phase-down». India has on several occasions categorically said that the country is committed to substantially increasing its clean energy capacity, but coal would continue to be the mainstay of its electricity needs and development goals. CO is expected to conclude the first ever GST, which is a mandated global report card of climate actions every five years.
