Scheduled from November 30 to December 12 under the UAE presidency, COP28 offers an opportunity to evaluate progress made under the Paris Agreement and outline future steps in climate action.

Modi stressed the necessity for developed nations to support developing countries with financial aid and technology transfer in their climate endeavors. He emphasized the principles of equity, climate justice, and differentiated responsibilities as crucial components in achieving sustainable development.

Highlighting India’s achievements in renewable energy, afforestation, and energy conservation, Modi reaffirmed the country’s dedication to environmental conservation. He underlined India’s historical emphasis on climate action while pursuing social and economic development.

As he anticipates joining special events on climate finance and green credit initiatives, Modi reiterated India’s commitment to climate action rooted in its civilizational ethos. This visit underscores India’s relentless pursuit of climate action and commitment to global environmental initiatives.
