NEW DELHI: PM Modi called on all nations to work together to cut global emissions drastically. Highlighting that India is among the only few countries in the world on track to fulfil its climate pledges, PM Modi also proposed to host the UN climate conference in India in 2028.
At the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, PM Modi said India’s emissions are very low compared to other nations whose population is much less.
“India’s population is 17 per cent of the global population, but in global carbon emissions India is only at 4 per cent. We are moving fast in achieving the NDC targets. In fact, we reached our non-fossil fuel targets nine years before the deadline,” PM Modi said, referring to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), a climate action plan to cut emissions and adapt to climate impacts.
“We do not have much time to correct the mistakes of the last century,” PM Modi said, and asked every nation to work sincerely to meet their NDC targets.
The Conference of Parties (COP) is a decision-making body that reviews the implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
