EGClasses keeps every article ready for UPSC mains and prelims with SSC overlap notes only where they add recall.

EGClasses treaty grid: Columns: Treaty (year), Pillar (mitigation/adaptation/finance/biodiversity), India’s stance (commit/conditional/lead), Map anchor (region/route), Latest CA update. This grid powers both GS3 and IR answers.

Examples: Paris (2015) – mitigation+finance, India: CBDR-RC advocate; map: emissions + coastal risk. Kigali (2016) – HFC phase-down; map: cooling demand. CBD COP – biodiversity corridors; map: Western/Eastern Ghats. CITES – species corridors; map: elephant/tiger routes.

Use in answers: Start with the treaty + stance, add one data point (NDC, renewable %, finance ask), then a map hook. Close with a domestic scheme or regulatory lever (PAT, PM-KUSUM, NCAP/GRAP).

Interviews: Convert the grid to a 30-second brief: “On climate, India pushes equity—high ambition at home (renewables) but seeks fair finance; here’s a map showing vulnerable districts.” EGClasses mock boards like the visual anchor.
