2. To achieve about 40 % cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel based energy resources by 2030 with the help of transfer of technology and low cost international finance including from Green Climate Fund (GCF).

3. To create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion ton of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.
