The Union government committed to reach its non-fossil energy capacity to 500 GW by 2030 and ultimately achieve net zero emissions by 2070. "Lifestyle for Environment” or LiFE, as declared by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Glasgow on the sidelines of COP26, is indicative of all-inclusive green growth. According to experts, this can only be possible only through sustainable practices, resource efficiency, and renewable energy sources.

Green growth envisions a future with environmentally sustainable and equitable economic growth, resource security, healthy environment, and restored ecosystems with rich ecology and biodiversity. According to experts, productivity and green growth issues are highly relevant to the state of Andhra Pradesh.
