PM Narendra Modi calls for cutting global carbon emissions
New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called on all nations to work together to cut global emissions drastically. At the COP28 Summit in Dubai, PM Modi today 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 that reviews the implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
