Summary

In the past month, we've seen two major plans from two of the world's biggest polluters. In March, China approved its 15th five-year plan, which gave us a clearer sense of how the government makes progress on its climate goals. A few weeks after that, India published its climate plan for 2035. This week on Zero, Bloomberg Green’s Lili Pike and Akshat Rathi discuss those climate plans, and whether they’re ambitious enough for the current moment.  Explore further: What’s Inside China’s New Major Environmental Law - Bloomberg China’s New Five-Year Plan Is Crucial for World’s Climate Fight A Decade of Global Climate Caution Is Sealed by India’s Wary Goals Zero is a production of Bloomberg Green .
